Ransom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 ^ Deer, cougars, bears, skunks, racoons, opposums, ...you name it. < Never really developed a fear of wild things. I hung out at my grandparent's place too much. 20 acres of sagebrush, in a house that had no electricity and you had to walk outside to get from the top floor to the bottom where we slept. V What's your beastie fear? Bugs, snakes, spiders...? ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

William Brand Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 ^ I am not allergic.

It truly looks like the first day of Spring outside and I am anxious to begin my Spring and Summer projects. V Any yard developments this year? New plantings? New alterations around the house?

Ransom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 ^ At our house, that's the never-ending story. This year, maybe more fruit trees, and a few more maples to add fall color. Then there is always The Garden, which is a major summer project every year. < It sounds like I dread all that work, but really, I like it. My garden is a joy, and a good place to work off frustration! I don't own a rototiller, so spading all those veggie beds over is a real workout. Cheaper than joining a gym!

LongTom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 > Raccoons. Seem to think that any inflatable rubber ball left in the yard is good eatin'.
