Sorry Mandart to hear about your PC, hope you can recover some of it.

Thanks, sadly we've been able to recover nothing...

@Mandart
I had something like that happen to me, too.
I was just lucky that a week before, I did a back up to an external drive and only lost a week's worth of stuff that wasn't backed up.

I remember having a batch of pictures and listings that I done.
I was able to use my listings and get those pictures loaded back to the computer.
But I don't know what else disappeared.

So sorry of the pc. RIP PC

Started cool in the early morning.
Just after 9am and it is getting hot and humid.
Watered my poor seedlings. I wonder if there will be any peppers, cucumbers and watermelons.

Not too much wind to cool the heat.
I think I will be working on my items description for the new listings and see if I can do it outside under the shade so that I can enjoy the outdoors.
I did get an eBid invoice and yes - it proves I had sales to pay fees on. YEAH !

Fletcher was such a good boy. Left me a chipmunk on the back porch on a piece of paper.
( And 2 chipmunks found in an almost empty rain bucket. They were trying to find a drink. Left those over by the farm field for the sand hill cranes to eat )

Mandart, sounds as thou its going to be an expensive time for you, hope your luck improves.

Nature does I suppose does these things to keep life going judgeing by what you are saying Police, yesterday we found that the Plum tree we bought MIL this year had been doing well, & over the last week the deer had attacked the tree, so the gardener has but the green stuff back around it, but am afraid may have lost it, its lovely seeing them in the garden but not so good when they attack trees like that.

Put some "bags" of human hair in the branches.
Use/ make some open web bags and use your or some from the barber shop hair. The deer should smell the human hair and get away from the area. I do this for a client that the deer eat their holly bushes.

Another warm with slight wind day.
I was able to clean up the "suckers" under the weeping crab tree and do some weeding. The soil was a little softer under the tree.

Still waiting for rain.

I did manage to get another 100 pictures of items for sale.
And then worked on checking the items over and working on descriptions. I got 10 items done so far and hoping to get more done today.

I need to do a back up of my hard drive today or tomorrow.
It's been a while since doing this and I have added a lot of pictures.

Ohhh Mand I feel your pain. When that happens it is so frustrating! Hello Maple! and Police

Hi Maelbrigda
Hope things are going good for you.

Waiting for it to warm up a bit before setting everything up outside to work on my items for listing.
The days are starting in the 60's degrees and then finally to the 80's or up.

Since it's been a while with the rain, the darn ants are coming into the house for cat food and such. Keep wiping down the floor with mint wash and really can't leave the cat food out all the time. I changed out the cat food bowl to a smaller one and sat in on top of a tray of baking soda. That worked for a while and then some of the ants decided to cross the baking soda to the cat food bowl.
The next thing is to sit the cat food bowl in a larger bowl with water and see if the ants want to swim. My luck, the ants might enjoy the swim in the heat of summer.

Problem is the deer's know they are safe in mum's garden so they don't fear us humans.... in fact a few years back there was some that would let you make a fuss of them while they eat the hedges.

Police do like that idea for human hair am having my hair cut tomorrow will try to remember that & ask for it.

Pennie good to see you around.

Was nice first thing & did get 15minuet sit in the garden with the paper, which was nice & most of the washing has dried but its clouded up, so waiting for the rain, but at least the flowers are looking good with the help of the rain.
