Oct. 8th, 2011 10:04 pm...I just thought it was cute.
kurlon, trying to get his iPhone to behave with the earbuds he bought so he can come riding tomorrow even though he's oncall, on the last beautiful weekend we'll probably have this year. One more week of Vroom.
We have a backyard again! Mostly. At least accessible with Murray, anyway. Three full trailer loads later, the last of the construction debris from the re-building of the garage is GONE. As are the remnants of a tree house that was here when we moved in, parts of the fence that he tore down from the back door area, and a few stray 4x4 posts. Still a bunch of crap under the (falling down) shed, and in the shed, but we'll rent a dumpster sometime, and just get rid of the whole darn thing.
There were so. Many. Salamanders! Li'l orange and black guys, I am pretty sure they are the Eastern Redbacked Salamander. So cute! One hitched a ride all the way to the transfer station in the trailer, but rode back in my hands... he's not where I put him when we got back home, so he either became lunch, or recovered and ran off somewhere. Be free, li'l dude!!
Scared a few fieldmice away from where they were hiding in the pile of rotted wood... they'll have to find somewhere else to sleep tonight. Not. Inside. The house.
So we can get into the backyard, mow the meadow, and then sometime have a big chainsaw party to cut up/haul away/burn all the felled trees (anybody doing thrown weapons need cookies?), and then take care of the slashpile. Which may be taken care of sooner rather than later. Watch this space. Then we will have a backyard we can enjoy. In a year or two. No rush...
