Cat’s and Floods

I am once again playing blog catch up, so here are some random pictures taken July 16/17 2013.

Sakura and Drew Brees being their normal, weirdo selves. Sakura must see what is in every closed door and Drew LOVES to shred newspapers. Ok, so does Sakura. They are really good about it most of the time. They will only attack paper we put on the floor. With just a few exceptions to that.

Cat’s are weird.

Some Flash Flood pics, this was the biggest flood we have had while here, but due to eating dinner it was 45 minutes or so after we heard the start of the flood before we had a chance to walk out to see what was going on.

This was the first time we had seen the water on the trail itself, but it had already receded back into the normal banks by the time we arrived.

The last pic I think I took on a morning walk, it had just rained, so it was really fresh and new smelling.

The contrast of what this preserve looked like 3 weeks ago to now is drastic. From dried dead brown, to over growing lush green. We have been mowing more and more in the past week and I will be doing some more after we close the gates for the day.

More whacking

Today was my 4th day this week I’ve done ground maintenance.

Weed whacking, mowing, trimming tree’s, weeding, you name it, Ive done too much of it this week.

My hands, knees, back and shoulders ache, I have about two dozen mosquito bites and at least 1 ant bite.

I’m going to watch a movie and drink until it’s time for bed which will be earlier then normal.

Night all.
