What is in your backyard?

[oldfogey8]

I was born and raised in the country until my father died.
I have killed and eaten Racoon, Possum, Rabbit ,Squirrel, Deer, and Armadillo. Nothing went to waste when i was a young man.

We all may be eating varments (and deer) by the summer if/when inflation and supply issues continue…

Unidentified plants, elephant ear bleeding heart and coral bells(gifted by my mother who got the originals from my grandmother). The 2nd two plants are loved by my hummingbirds.

Dogwood, wildflowers, roses, a bunch of damn dandelions, I just planted 2 rows(20) Austree Hybrid Willows and my beloved burning bush. This Bush started as a single stick about the size of the tiny apple tree beside it in the picture when I first moved to this house and now it's absolutely massive. About 10-12 ft tall and 15 ft wide. One of these days I'm going to grow cannabis plant this big

Tommy Salami…

I think I have a bear infestation problem. 2nd day in a row that my bird feeders have been vandalized. I am charging up the batteries for the trail cam to make sure I am just not a victim of mostly peaceful protests…

I hate when the Bears take my wheelbarrow and make it stand straight up on my stump to make me think I was visited by Aliens from space not Mexico
Morning Fog

Da bears…

I use my psychic powers to levitate the wheelbarrow and keep it levitated. It is a zen thing. I had an alien infestation a while back. I’d be transported thru time and have strange metallic lumps under my skin when I would bust thru the fabric of the space-time continuum. They eventually determined that I was a poor study subject and they told my dog to just keep an eye on me for them. He reports back to them on the regular. The truth is out there(way out there) but I don’t anticipate any revelations coming out of the upcoming committee questioning of underlings by our congressional representatives…

So you have met Beldar and Connie. I love their ‘mass quantities’ pot luck Sunday dinner. Beldar grows some ‘out of this world’ bud and can munch with the best of them. I haven’t experienced the anal probing. They considered it but got a bit disgusted when they pants-ed me and started digging thru the dense jungle of hair and dingleberries. They learned that dingleberries don’t only circle Ur-anus…

Must consume mass quantities

They originally thought I was one of their kin folk because of our similar hair lines…

I don’t live in China or DC(redundant, I know)…

 

[oldfogey8]

My neighbor hunts and it is turkey season(not seasoning, mmmm, delicious). He said he called in my boy Thomas the turkey this morning but couldn’t see himself shooting him. I thanked him but deep down wondered if he was just saying that(as he held a shovel-full of bear scar from the bear incursion). Then a little while ago, Thomas and his frenemy, Not-Thomas showed up to be fed…

Get so many strawberries I gave these to my neighbor

My strawberries just started to flower a couple of days ago. I need to move somewhere warm…

She watched me make the coffee and prepare breakfast for my dog and cats…

Not Thomas strutting his stuff. He is an a’hole. He pecks at my basement windows and chases my boy Tommy Salami the wild turkey away from food.

Mrs Fogey’s pet gorilla has some poison ivy(maybe Virginia Creeper actually)…
