For me the rain is dreary for Lea its time to play and splash about.
The water is receading quickly, which is a shock to me, it usually stays for day. It’s about half where it was just a few short hours ago. I figure Lea had her fun but then it was time for a nice soapy bath and a nap. She’s wrapped in her blanket and tucked in her crate snoring her little heart out. She’s my favorite little wet rat.
The water in my yard is so high that is reaches half the tire and nearly the top of two five gallon buckets sitting under my garden table. A few more minutes of rainfall and it’ll reach the bumper as well as the seat on the picnic table.
I feel a little daft right now.
I know when I see poison oak but I don’t right off recognize poison ivy and I’ve never heard of poison sumac until of course I had to know. (sigh) It seems that two days ago when I went outside and cleared stuff off my fence line I cleared 2 out of three of these plants. Figures huh? Two of the youngest kids next door have it as well. We share a fence. Not good.
The rescue center had a huge adoption event today. Despite all the planning and all the kittens we only adopted out one single kitten. Even still it was a good day because we may have recruited two good foster homes which helps significantly.
After the failed baby shower/adoption event we went back to my supervisors house where we sat around eating pizza and chatting. Soup and I walked her grounds, looked at the horses, chickens and the tons of cats she has waiting for a home. She has beautiful flowers too. Over all it was a wonderful day.
My poor yard is so dead. August 2010 is the driest month on record for all of Indiana’s history and my yard is good and dead as proof.
I saw this beauty on my screen door Monday morning and hoped my camera batteries would charge fast enough to catch him on film. What a beauty. After looking up info on the Pale Green Luna Moth I discovered that this is an adult male who will live for only about 7 days. In addition to his short adult life he doesn’t eat because he doesn’t have a mouth, none of the adults do. I guess when I saw such a large hairy creature I figured the information would say he’s predatory and can eat small mice or something. Who knew these large gentle, short-lived creatures eat nothing at all in adulthood. Continue reading ‘Stuff In My Yard: Pale Green Luna Moth’
