We are looking at continued hot temperatures along with a chance of storms through Saturday then cooler weather in thelow 80s. We really need the rain but I can live without temps in the mid 90s day after day.

I've been battling deer in my garden this year. The little freakin darlings keep nibbling at my greenbeans. I've tried netting, they pull it off, I've tried 50 pound test fishing line strung around the parameter, they break it. All I have in the mornings are deep prints in the rows and little greenbean stems sticking up in the air. At least they are trying to recover. Unfortunately we seem to be experiencing a bumper crop of white clover this year which means we also have a bumper crop of bunnies. In the past our dogs would keep the population down but the youngest are 4 years old now and they just seem to think that diving in for the long haul chase isn't worth the effort or the small amount of meat should they get lucky enough to snare a bunny.

I can haul out the coyote urine granules to deter them but the big doe that is using my garden as a salad bar isn't going to let coyote pee stop her from tasting my guarden.

Try some cheap drive way alarms or motion sensors that make a siren sound.
It should run them off. My friend put's hers in a concrete block. Just a thought.

They love to torture me. Also, spouse is only 1 of 2 kids, and for many years, spouse and I had produced the only grandkids.

I was so happy when sis-in-law finally produced a child last year...but since the produced child "is yet another boy", in-laws see no point in moving down to abuse them instead of us.

Wow, lucky you, but I guess you may be getting tired of it.

Us also. Most of Alabama is now out of the drought. Some of the Northern counties are still lacking enough rain to get them out of their drought.

The drought is very much over here in Florida too. At least, for now.
