You're welcome. I love our severe weather threads because it lets us know everyone is (or isn't, as the case may be) alright, and garden damage doesn't hurt so much when it affects us all. I think we develop a "we're all in this together" attitude that helps us face the damage and clean it up with a better attitude.

I'm grateful for everyone here who looks out for one another and helps one another.

Now, let's enjoy the few dry days we're gonna have and y'all watch out for snakes and other critters looking for a dry place to shelter. Out here in the sticks, that often includes rodents like field mice and voles as well as bunnies, skunks and possums. Everyone is looking for a warm, dry place to sleep and something to eat. Oh, and fire ants. Our fire ants are climbing the exterior walls of all structures, trying to find a way inside. They're climbing my lumber arbor, carrying dirt with them, and trying to make fire ant mounds on top of the arbor. I kinda feel sorry for them, but I am going to spray the arbor with orange oil or with peppermint soap today to discourage them, taking great care to avoid damaging any plants.
