What Did You See In Your Yard Today?

[Rob Hall]

Raining again today...lots of leaves in my front and back yard...my yard guy is coming every other week since the grass isn't growing, should be creating big piles of leaves on the tree lawn this week for the city to vacuum up eventually.

Rain!!! We had rain last Saturday, actually thunderstorms and it’s raining again this morning. I spent last week sewing grass seed over a good amount of dirt work we’ve done at the new place and covering it with a light amount of straw. The good Lord is handling the watering for me.

 

Edit, looks like more rain this weekend!

Litttle?🫣No spiders are cool, as long as they stay outside,and not in my house.

Freaky. That spider is translucent. Or maybe just an albino.

My front porch was overrun with big garden spiders this year, more than I've ever even seen in one place.

Every morning I'd go out and get a new web in the face.

I guess they were eating the paper wasps and yellowjackets that built nests out there too.

Good spiders. Eat all you want.

Though I removed the wasp and YJ nests, there were still plenty of skeeters to feast on.

Several much cooler days and 2 nights of 40-degree F temps, spiders all gone.

Probably just moved indoors.

We went out to Montauk this week. It was warm, around 66 F. The lighthouse was not open, the gift shop too.

I had an encounter with a jumping spider. He even jumped onto the camera lens a couple of times. He wouldn't keep  still.

Those are great! In my patio where I'd prefer them not to be underfoot or on my outdoors workbench, I coax them to jump onto my hand so I can give 'em a ride to one of the nearby plants or bushes so they can eat whatever vermin insects I'd rather not have in my patio area at all.

As much as I hate spiders this one is ok. Fun to watch them darting about and jumping. Almost seems as if they're entertaining you.

Let the trio after their dinner Tuesday and I hear Bear barking folllowed by the clang of the fence.  I figure it was one of the crazy cat ladys cats making break for it but nope....young deer hoped into the neighbors yard.  It rained for two days here so just had that suspecion it could make a return appearance.  Midday Wednesday bio moment, I checked the yard and it was back.  Dogs are bougie so likely won't go out so just went back in.  Waited a couple hours hoping Bambi.....nope decided it liked my yard and decided to hang laying down.  Nooo!!  Nine pounds of vicious terror of mini dachshund would be the most likely candidate to go check it out, I went back in for a couple more hours.  Dinner time and I check yet again.  It's standing up so I decided it was 'last call' and took a plastic grocery bag and walked towards it slowly russling it.  It finally got the hint and went over the back fence again.  My Aussie was abused before I adopted her and she still has bad memories so she is more passive aggressive type to bark from a safe distance.  As the senior citizen of the bunch, Bear is not one to start a confrontation but certainly one to investigate
