I buy mandarins or other types of oranges that I know are seedless. Like Save. I seem to find them both ways - sometimes with seeds, sometimes without! Related Discussions Raccoons! I have motion-triggered sprinklers that work. I also lay concrete reinforcing wire on top of my veggie bed soil before I plant, so that they can't dig up all of the plants.
I have a four foot wide bridge over my pond where it is three feet deep, and the fish hide there at night.
Raccoons will kill a small dog and seriously injure large ones, but they don't like dogs and the locals high-tail it out of the yard when my lab starts barking at them. Mikey and Sam the Dog treed one in the front Locust tree last Friday at 3 am, and he slept there all day during the garden tour at our house on Saturday, so everyone got a good daytime view of his sharp little claws.
We periodically hosed him down to make his life miserable, and the jays and crows harassed him all day, so it may be a month or two before he returns. I can always hope, anyway. When the kids have a bit of time toward the end of the period, I have a puzzle out for them to work on.
This will be perfect! They love to do them. Jenell, I absolutely love this!!! Thank you so much! I can hang something from the end of it, too, I see. Very Pretty. Jenell, what a beautiful book you chose.
I will be using this for my plant journal. Thank you for this, too. Jenell, when I saw this I just burst out laughing. I LOVE it!!! It's 3. This guy has a real 6-pak, short stumpy muscled legs, no neck, muscled arms, and a belly button. This is a HOOT! Maryanne, are you jealous??? Jenell, you really made my day with all of the fun, wonderful, and thoughtful things that you sent.
If you were here, I would just hug you to pieces. Thank you so much for everything and for being such a wonderful bloomin' friend. Mary Ellen. Me, me, me!!!! I made 3 batches of cookies today, wrapped all the presents that I have bought so far, mailed my Christmas cards, and finished the laundry.
So I am gonna settle in for the whole 3 hours and not feel one bit guilty. I didn't clean my house at all this weekend. But in my opinion, something's gotta give at the holidays, and I vote for housework. If someone comes and complains, I'll just shove a cookie in their mouth and distract them! LOL I volunteered for a very difficult and dangerous job this weekend I took it upon myself to do the job, since someone had to do it.
I had to eat them in order to spare the poor unsuspecting souls who are supposed to receive the candy. It wasn't pleasant, but it had to be done!!! That is my story and I am sticking to it! And I only ate one cookie from each batch today - a record for me! LOL Now I have to finish cleaning the kitchen and pack my lunch for tomorrow, then I can finally sit down and relax.
