Clothesline Deployed and Gardening Updates
Took me a few days to get another post set up. My old camera died a little while back and I don’t have my camera phone anyhow. I’m just running an el cheapo Virgin Mobile phone in the thought that it’s not a contract or recurring bill and that I’ll probably get a smartphone whenever I get my next job. So, this post had to wait for my new Kodak Powershot A490 to arrive. I would have preferred a camera that accepted external batteries rather than relying on a USB charger but I went for cheap instead.
Enough of the excuses and now for the updates. I’ve got a plan of attack prepared to handle all my recurring bills and reducing what little fat I had left over in the budget. I also got my new gardening plan set up for the spring. I’ve missed a few opportunities to plant things that are very early season, like cabbage, but I’m still early enough to be able to plant a very productive garden.
At the same gardenign store I armed myself with a mole trap and a squirrel trap. It’s time to stop sharing with the little buggers. Not to mention, it would be nice to learn how to use a hav-a-heart trap before I really need one. I doubt I’ll eat the squirrels I catch as I’m not a huge fan of squirrel, but I may cook it up for the puppies so the meat at least doesn’t go to waste. I tried peanut butter as my bait and caught a squirrel in two days. In this case I didn’t kill the rabbit as I was just testing out how hard it was to catch them.
I did a fair job of drying my clothes on the fence last year just by draping them over the chainlink but I noticed that the metal did stain some clothing. So I’ve strung up a clothesline.
Hope y’all are doing well.
