I wonder,, Isnt it good for our bodys to be subject to some degree of "Germs"? Isnt that how our Body fixes itself? Does this make sense??

Perfect fit for a Zippo type lighter for those who still smoke and use a genuine lighter.

I though everybody knew what this pocket was for.... Shows what I know.  

Well had the same birds showing up plus a special visitor that I just managed to get a picture of. I managed to get the camera turned on and focus in on him and snapped one picture before he flew off. Luckily when I saw him flying in I had my camera close by. It was a Pileated Woodpecker. Then of course we still had the Downy show up and the Red bellied woodpeckers as well. We still have robins at least three but they would not come down out of the trees.

I miss putting bird seed out for the birds & the squirrels (Mr Grey, Mrs Red, & the Distinguished Mr Black). Then get the rabbits involved and we would be laughing!! Nothing like watching nature to bring back the memories of the simple times in life!!!
 
Thanks Gator!! Please keep them coming!!

Nice pics once again Gator.  Thanks for sharing.

the last pic is a jailbird

LOL, my hubby just said almost the same thing to me on Friday, but that's his opinion, not mine

Many, many times!!

There aren't many chipmunks any more. He's killed 63 in 2 years that I know of. He's also killed 5 red squirrels and 1 gray.

Combo is old as the hills among us back woods drunks.

He just wanted to touch a truck!!

About 2 weeks ago while camping cooked 14 pounds of bacon and about 4 pounds of sauage links. In all the years camping with 3 other parties of family friends and cooking bacon for breakfast, think at least  1 pig has  made the sacrifice to full fill the need.

Almost time to replenish the supply of homemade swine candy. Maple cured apple smoked....
 

Bacon bacon bacon!!! The best made up day of the year!!!

GOD to ST. FRANCIS:
Frank,  ....  You know all about gardens and nature. What in
the world is going on down there on the planet?  What
happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds and stuff
I started eons ago?   I had a perfect no-maintenance garden
plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand
drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the
long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and
flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of
colors by now. But, all I see are these green rectangles.
 
St. FRANCIS:
   It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites.
They started calling your flowers 'weeds' and went to
great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass.
 
GOD:
   Grass? But, it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't
attract butterflies, birds and bees; only grubs and sod
worms. It's sensitive to temperatures. Do these
Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?
 
ST. FRANCIS:
   Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it
and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing
grass and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.
 
GOD:
   The spring rains and warm weather probably make
grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy.
ST. FRANCIS:
   Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they
cut it-sometimes twice a week.
 
GOD:
   They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?
ST. FRANCIS:
   Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.
 
GOD:
   They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?
 
ST. FRANCIS:
   No, Sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.
 
GOD:
   Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass so
it will grow. And, when it does grow, they cut it off
and pay to throw it away?
 
ST. FRANCIS:
   Yes, Sir.
 
GOD:
   These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer
when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat.
That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.
ST. FRANCIS:
   You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass
stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay
more money to water it, so they can continue to mow
it and pay to get rid of it.
 
GOD:
   What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees.
That was a sheer stroke of genius, if I do say so myself.
The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty
and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they fall to
the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture
in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. It's a
natural cycle of life.
ST. FRANCIS:
   You better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have
drawn a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they
rake them into great piles and pay to have them
hauled away.
 
GOD:
   No!? What do they do to protect the shrub and
tree roots in the winter to keep the soil moist and loose?
 
ST. FRANCIS:
   After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy
something which they call mulch. They haul it home
and spread it around in place of the leaves.
 
GOD:
   And where do they get this mulch?
 
ST. FRANCIS:
   They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.
 
GOD:
   Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore.
St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie
have you scheduled for us tonight?
ST. CATHERINE:
   'Dumb and Dumber', Lord. It's a story about.... 
 
GOD:
   Never mind, I think I just heard the whole story
from St. Francis.
 

I guess this will mean that Bon will now have to draw up new escape plans in case of a winter disaster.

There are some baby skunks for sale. $250 includes descenting & worming them. I think LC would think think they were kitties!!
I sent the ad to my hubby, I already know what he is going to reply with or save it till he gets home .. lol.

I never planted till the 6th of June. That's when my family used to plant, & I followed that rule. Now I'm lucky if I'm able to plant a flower.

We have all kinds of peckers here. Last year the downey was pecking on the light pole, found out that is how they call their mate.   His pecker had to really hurt!!
