Not only that but it swipes on the way out.

Is there such a thing as a bad mountain pie combo 

My daughter's Rotties have a jealously factor when I stop in, at least 2 out of the 3 are like this. I just get about 2 steps inside and They try and push or pull one another away so they can get closer to me.  Also my son's Short Hairs are the same way. One will sit between my legs and the other sits beside me, the one sitting beside me gets up and goese over to window like there is something outside and the other one gets up to see and then the other dog turns around and comes back and sits between my legs.

One tree, 40 types of fruit
 
 
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, AUGUST 7,2014(CBS/AP)---------Ideas don't grow on trees, until now.
Syracuse University Professor Sam Van Aken is the proud father of a single tree that grows 40 types of fruit. The artist's rendering of his creation is getting attention worldwide, CBS News correspondent Jeff Glor reports.

"It's flattering. It's amazing. But yeah, it's overwhelming," Van Aken said.
The art professor grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania. A few years ago, he learned New York's agricultural experiment station -- a 125-year-old institution that preserves and produces fruit -- was going to rip up its stone fruit orchards.
So he set out to find a permanent home for seeds that trace back thousands of years.
"When I started, it was a matter of essentially collapsing an entire orchard down onto one tree. That was the practical application for it."
The result is not an entire orchard in one, but "a couple orchards in one."
 
Tree of 40 Fruits CBS News  
The tree contains 40 varieties of peaches, apricots, cherries, nectarines and European plums that date back to the 17th and 18th century.
Growing multiple stone fruits, like peaches or plums, on one tree is possible because what Van Aken does, perhaps better than anybody, is graft.
In essence, he tricks a tree into adopting a new limb, or in this case, dozens of them.
The Tree of 40 Fruit has been growing for nine years. Fourteen are installed around the country, most in public places, like Van Aken's at the center of the Syracuse campus -- alive and edible.
The professor says his project has grown beyond expectation.
"There's a pastor in Norfolk, Virginia that did a sermon," he said. "And a big part of the sermon was using The Tree of 40 Fruit as a symbol. And to me, that was amazing that it reached that far."
Van Aken acknowledges the biblical implications of his tree.
"I mean, the tree of life; it's the beginning of a story," he said.
But if nothing else, the tree is pretty fascinating food for thought.
"I saw somewhere on a website where somebody said that the Tree of 40 Fruit will end world hunger," he said. "And it's like, 'No, it won't. Not at all.' But what it can do is, I like to think, that it can lead to that type of thinking."

Yes it was, right where there is no hunting ...lol!!! I think deer can read ... along with turkeyzilla that is around my house!!!

beautiful bon, i really need to get out there soon, it's so calming out there but the radiator blew on the van and I know hubby would want to take at least Minnie and Ben and I'm not so keen on having them in my car after running around out there as they both love water.
When i go fishing or swimming, we have a rule: you leave nothing behind but gentle footprints.

I didn't see the duck on the water, but it flew over me. I was really surprised to see the blue heron over by the deck. I didn't see it till I had the binocs out looking along the shore line for him!! I couldn't get my camera ready fast enough when he flew across the road. So he got away from me again!! The osprey sure were flying all around today!! None were on the nest, but in different trees around the pond. The big one wasn't bothered by me being there at all. He was flying very close to me and swooping down onto the water then back over by me!!
 
Now my rant!!!!
 
People!!! If you carry drinks, food containers or fishing stuff in,  then you are capable of carring the stuff out!!! I get so pi$$ed seeing bottles/cans of pop, beer, wine, wiskey, food and fishing stuff left there. You are slobs!!!!  Pick up after yourselves!!!!

I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a few weeks ago.

Went to Shaggers  Sunday morning around 11:30, just after going through Parker Dam came across at least 5 foot rattlesnake on the road. Turned onto Tyler Rd. had 3 deer run out of a hollow,1 doe and 2 buck both had to be  10 point (plus).  At Shaggers  did not see any Osprey from boat launch.  At parking lot took path to dam all the time watching the area on both sides of path very closely.  Only seen one goose and about 5-6 people fishing on the breast of dam.  To left of viewing platform  way up against shore looked like a goose and about 6 little ones.  Then headed to Clearfield.

Remember many years ago going on several occasions to see the Wolves.

No,but may be worth a try,probably would not hurt. lol

You don't shake the dew off your lily on the ROS, do you???!!

Can tell you they are slow growing but they love sunshine. My in-laws have them sprouting up all over their yard (and have for yrs). When we built our new house (9 yrs ago) we have transplanted from their yard, probably 10 along our property line and the ones that get full sun have grown more than the others. They have a lot of meaning since they were one of my mother-in-laws favorite and to know we have them from their yard means a lot.

Do you go out & talk to it? Try singing to it?

Don't have a green thumb, I dig 1 time and plant. It either grows or dies.

A new born fawn. Mama hid her just inside the woods behind the garden. Must have known she was safe there with the dogs guarding her when they go out LOL  Not sure if this is a pic of mama or not she was on other side of house. we have several does that use the property. she may have been a different mama and had her young on that side of the house.  My wife was throwing some branches in the woods when she spied he hiding in the thicket behind the birds nest with eggs. They will be new additions also pretty soon. If you look down the middle of the garden and alittle to the left beside a tree at the edge of the woods you can just make out a scrubby looking bush. The eggs are in there and the fawn just a few feet further in.
