Better mousetrap, whatever works.

OLB Right Now:
GET OUT!!!
We've got a mated pair of Cooper's Hawks with 4-6 juveniles nested on the property. I've seen 1 rabbit and a couple of squirrels all summer long. I'll be sad to see them leave, but this is the second time in three years they've nested here, so it's likely they'll return.

Most crepe myrtle, azalea, butterfly bush, and hibiscus died back to the roots and had to regrow from the ground up. That sent the migrants further south. The birds that were around for -15°F, like cardinal and robin, likely lost population. The mystery of the color of the new Oleander has been solved.

Husband bought and planted another one that seems to be doing well but we won't know till it flowers if it's that same pink or if it's white. "Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch".

The other one was usually trimmed back a bit more than in that picture but it shaded the whole bay window area where the kitchen table is. Quite useful since that set of windows gets the setting sun and the huge oleander bush helped keep it out and kept the temperature down. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius |
