The world is now so full of multi-media sources that everyone is looking but nobody is seeing. Sensory overload will rob many of the visual art around them. The world needs a pause button.
Well, it was an eventful week up here on the farm. Between the snake and the rabbits – the snake didn’t really bother me. I like to have a natural mouse trap around. Although I will say that crawling under the house to plug up those wire holes was a bit sketchy. I tried not to look around too much – that way if there was a big snake under there I would not see it. What I don’t see can’t hurt me – right? Well, maybe. 🙂
I didn’t see or hear anything while I was under there. Plugged the four wire holes and got out. Nice and quick!
Joey had two tomato plants growing, but it appears the rabbits decided to eat them. I didn’t think they would last long – but Joey was insisting that he could take care of them. Even though I was the one watering the plants. He went out last week and one of them was gone. Just a stub left. Then our friend Reese came over to visit and she spotted a big rabbit chewing on the second plant. Now it is gone – the plant not the rabbit.
We did capture a big rabbit on the trail cam. Daddy said he saw some baby rabbits. I think the "big" rabbit was actually a pregnant mother rabbit. Now there are baby rabbits running around. I am fairly certain Eek (our big snake that is wondering around) is probably stalking the rabbits. Poor rabbits.
Daisy is heading out today for Levi’s. Her cousin – bigger dog but scared of Daisy. Daisy is excited, but I don’t think Daisy realizes we will be gone a month. I am sure she will have fun – she will be missed, though!
We leave for Europe next Sunday. First Sweden and then Germany. Going to explore and see what interesting museums we can find. Should be a lot cooler than the weather here. Supposed to be in the 60s. I can only hope.
The hot weather here continues – day after day after day after day of 90s. That gets old after awhile. Looks like it will continue into tomorrow – then a bit cooler next week.
First tropical storm of the season is impacting the Caribbean. My forecast has been for a Mexico or south Texas hit. That appears to be on track. 🙂 Models were taking it into Louisiana and Mississippi – they have slowly changed their tune, though.
Art class is going great. I am really enjoying it. 🙂 Few more weeks left – another month or so for that class.
