It is over cast and cool here in central Okla. I set my container plants out on the patio about 3 weeks ago.
Lowes and Home Depot (HD) have had steady business here as home centers/hardware stores were considered essential businesses. Sam's Club has been counting heads and only allowing a certain number inside the store.... not going there unless I have to. Not standing in line to go to Sams Club. The garden centers were closed.... but Lowes and HD are open and selling stuff since the beginning.Yeah I totally agree. It’s aggravating. It was last weekend and everything had just opened back up and Lowes was packed so I blew it off.
Even covered the frost killed my tomatoes .

Great video! One persistent acrobatic squirrel. What was he trying to do on that pole for so long?Beautiful dogwood,eisman
Recalling last spring about this time, before Busby left - the squirrels were raiding the feeders mercilessly after I quit feeding them on the platforms. You can see that I had just begun the new dig that is enlarged this spring. I tried hanging the feeders on wire, then further along on a wire. Then, in early June, on a post with a 'flimsy' baffle. What entertainment.
Leaping squirrel video is shown in slow motion then again in real time.
This was prior to my 'system' of courseI am parked outside the laundromat enjoying their wifi again.
If you mean the black pole with the flimsy squirrel baffle in the rain, he is going for the two bird feeders at the top (not shown). He did chew through the centre of the baffle eventually and got to the feeders. I couldn't believe the leap made from the top of the grey pole - I had moved the feeders further along the wire so they couldn't jump them from the house so he climbed that grey pole, leaped onto the wire, twirled around it twice and did get the prize ... sunflower seedGreat video!

OK, now I get the whole picture. Yes, I forgot to mention the pouring rain! And that was an impressive jump!If you mean the black pole with the flimsy squirrel baffle in the rain, he is going for the two bird feeders at the top (not shown).

The system I wound up with handles grey, black and red squirrels and all the bully birds. Whew!
The only photos I have ever enlarged and displayed were 35mm slide images from when I first started taking pictures. I don't have anything like this on display. Much of my available wall space is taken up with framed water colors and a couple originals. I go in cycles in terms of interests and art was one of them for a good while. There is always a residual interest, but actually spending money or significant money changes over time. I have many unframed signed & numbered prints.One remarkably rare and moving image of bear mom and cub - so glad for your enjoyment of your favourite nature haunt. BTW had I taken that picture, it would be enlarged and displayed (good grief, I might need more wall space, though).
What do you guys use for killing garden snails?
That would do it.... and the mail was just delivered in the rain, brave soul my mail guy
Another step in my plan to kill grass and cut the mowiing back on this wild and weedy property. 60 Eastern white pine trees, 2 years old ... happy planting to me
