Frog and Goat

Guess what? That’s right it is raining again. I’m sure everyone is sick of the rain and the whining about the rain. I know I am.

Luckily there was dryness on Monday and I was able to cut the grass. Our great yard project seems to be a success–no doubt due to the huge amount of rain we’ve had.

On Tuesday morning the better half put down two bags of grass seed in all the bare patches where grass didn’t sprout the first time or it came up too weak. I realize that we’re pushing the envelope on when grass seed will actually germinate and then take root but it is just too darn hard to pass up all the rain action.

On Sunday night we decided to put out some bait (a piece of week-old kielbasa) to see if I can finally get a clear picture of the grey fox that visits our backyard. I’ve taken one picture so far and I’m afraid that the level of light will make it very hard to figure out there’s a fox in the picture (I didn’t use the digital camera because instead of an actual zoom lens there’s just laughing when I press that button). Daggone if I didn’t put the camera away just in time to have another fox walk right by the porch…I could have spit on that fox. So, we either have a family of foxes or we will soon have a turf war going on.

We’re having take-out BBQ tonight for dinner. I am thrilled. If you are ever in Ashland, VA, check out Virginia Barbeque Co. on England Street.
