JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. DEER-- About twilight yesterday, I saw a deer in a neighbor's yard. I thought it was a wayward large dog at first, but when it took off, i saw that white tail. I've never seen a deer that close to the house before, but have seen deer in different parts of the subdivision.
2. BIRDIES-- After a really noisy nest of little ones in the schoolhouse bird feeder (house wrens), I'd say the babies are gone now. We'll clear the nest out and start putting sunflower seed in it again.
3. 'SKEETERS-- With all the rain we've been having this past month (and all spring for that matter), I have noticed that while working on the yard, we have a bumper crop of mosquitoes.
4. RAINY SEASON-- It's official, this June was the Chicago area's rainiest June ever. Almost seven inches. Same with Illinois' rainiest for June. A new record. I have not even hooked up the hoses yet as I haven't had to water the plants. Sadly, not only do we have the rain sessions, but also there is a threat of rain forecast almost every day and plenty of menacing clouds, most of which don't amount to anything.
