Mowing the side yard

Having fun with my DR in the side lot in 90 degree weather. Only 10 more acres to go.

3 words, Ken. Ride-on-mower.

Quite the trend here in meadowland in the UK to mow a decent path through the whole thing and leave it at that, it looks really good and your side yard would lend itself really well to that. laugh
Hi Ken,
Your vdeo reminded us of an ad that was quite popular here in SA a few years ago...rolling on the floor laughing

Viv! in a Dolly Parton wig!!
Yellow suits you ken wink
10 acres is a lot of exercise, you will look like a bodybuilder at the end - then flatten a beer and start again, it's a job for life!

It looks amazing cool
Dolly! I mean hi viv, welcome back !
Ken,

Have a break...comfort

Ken, who is filming...a drone with a Go Pro camera??????dunno
Sands, good question. A Pentax WP digital pocket camera mounted on a full size camera tripod. Same with the two pistol videos. Camera saves it as an AVI file. Then I run MS Windows Movie Maker on that and trim off the scenes I don't want, and save it as a (smaller) WMV file and upload it to You Tube.

CH, have to pass on the alcohol me dear, but do you have any strawberry ice cream milk shakes? Even some icy milk with banana run through the blender would be perfect. That works for me today.
Sands, a cogent summary. Like I would have missed watching the blogs, my nose pressed up against the window ... and you picked exactly the ones I read rolling on the floor laughing
Ken,

just cos you worked so hardhug

I am observing my peaches are almost ready for picking. As always it will be a race. The deer won't touch them until they are at perfection. Then they stand up on their hind legs and steal as many as they can reach. Even jumping to grab one up high now and then. So it is me or the deer. As soon as the green is almost gone..

Big news is while mowing I found more raspberries ready for picking. This time it is mostly Red Raspberries (although I saw a few Black Raspberries too). I know what I am doing tomorrow morning. :)

I will have to put my cats on guard duty soon to keep the deer and the Pacific tomato woman away from my tomato plants. Soon. Yes, I could fry them now, but I like them red too.

All in all a good day. I am still finding deer skulls hidden under the tall grass. Found 4 so far this month. Picked clean and white, so they are at least weeks old, but not old enough to begin to discolor or the teeth fall our. It is unusual. Normally I find one every one or two years. I am not good enough to tell if this is left over from winter when I had a problem, or is it newer then that. Could be why I haven't seen big herds this year, just small groups of 2 or 3. Noting also the now familiar pattern of a skull separated from anything else. No ribs or legs or spine seem to be nearby. Obviously dragged away by something.
