Clothesline Deployed and Gardening Updates

Posted June 16th, 2011 by admin and filed in Uncategorized

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.
