We have bunnies there too and saw a couple. Oddly enough, they were never a nuisance when we had a vegetable garden. We also have some fruit trees that are dropping peaches and apples, but we left them on the ground as they are in the far yard. Hopefully birds will enjoy them.Beatrice P.

I'm also in shock...it's nearly August and we haven't been able to swim in the lake yet because it's been too cold!

I could care less about cars, but don't mess with my rototiller! I've not used a bug net, but we actually have an old one that my husband had for tree planting back in his younger days. A friend of mine who has issues with bug spray actually had shirts and pants that her kids wore, rather than using bug spray on them. Hope you keep ticking things of "The List"!coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-48199000015582302702017-07-27T11:52:17.230-04:002017-07-27T11:52:17.230-04:00I see we have the same outdoor 'friends' -...I see we have the same outdoor 'friends' - I also resort to a bug net over my head, if they are particularly awful.
