OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[actaeon277]

I know my yard is a bit small for a riding mower.. but I'm glad I have one.
Yard cut in about 20 minutes today.

Last week I brought it to the Legion, because we were having a problem with it's mower.
Got the other one fixed, and then got the grass done a LOT faster because we had mine there to help.
Even though it's only a 4 foot deck, and the one at the Legion is a 5 footer.

We have plumbers too!

Yep, I knew that, but I forgot about the electrical division.

It’s toasty today. I could go for a good 70° day

Yeah.
My wife is out in a big brown truck picking up early air deliveries all over Carmel right now. Mostly medical there.

Soon she'll be down in the industrial district on that side where it's almost nothing but pavement to finish with the pickups.

Hot dog and watermelon. That was supper.

Sitting on my back deck and had a baby robin slam into my upstairs window just a few feet from me. Damn thing must have either broke its neck or crushed its skull. He was breathing for about 10 seconds then stopped.

Just before we left for the vet a mature female cardinal flew into one of our windows. Unfortunately died on impact. I hate when that happens

Yeah I hated to see that happen. Nature is a cruel bi***.

We have too many bird crashes, always desirable birds. 2 stories of glass on great room westerly wall and for what ever reason ( reflections ?) it isn’t uncommon. The old farm houses we lived in had small windows, never had a fly into 1 that I am aware of.

On way to vet did see an eagle pecking at something about a mile from home in a newly mowed alfalfa field. Guessing a groundhog. Coming home, he was gone and 4 or 5 vultures were there finishing the left overs.

This is an older pic, but the house hasn't changed. That's our picture window with the casement windows on each side. Haven't had that many bird crashes recently, but for the past couple years, there was a male cardinal that would intentionally peck at his reflection. Got pretty annoying if you were sitting in the living room.

 

[BeDome]

Good night everyone.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Goodnight BD.

About time for me to hit the shower and then the pillow. HAGN all!

Quesadillas consumed. Now a frosty all day ale to close the evening.
