Whatcha doing today?

So proud of you! I would save everything I could save.

Jamie, I really like the ring neck snakes as they are so small. Tried keeping one when I was around 10 and quickly realized they eat really small bugs. Hard to catch enough for them so had to release it. Glad you shared this photo as it brought back memories of my snake hunting days.

Hiked out for pet food, milk, and a few other things we needed. I only managed it due to my neighbor giving me a ride in his tractor, there were a few spots that the water was too fast and too rough to walk. On the way back, I found a nice large male red eared slider. I moved him out of the way of the tractor. Got pictures but I had my phone in a ziplock so they aren’t great.

That is a lot of water! So happy you saved the turtle.

So water is down, but road is too washed out in 4 spots for me to drive out in my car with my oil pan intact. So Instead of playing army, cause the truck can’t get to Tulsa, I’ll be making up for lost hours at work. The part the bugs me, is that my command was saying my excuse of being flooded in “ sounds flimsy” till I sent them pictures of me in water up to my waist. And they called before sunrise to see if I could get out yet. So we went out, I told them I could get there if they could pick me up, and they say I can make it up later. I’ve been trying to make that arrangement since we knew we’d get flooded in! I’ll get more pics of the road as we run out for groceries in case these rains the next 4 days flood is in again.

I do not envy what you are having to go through @JamieB and then you are accused of using a flimsy excuse........................LOL and glad you sent them photo's of your real world right now! Looks like you are on the way to recovery mode soon, hopefully as long as the rain stays away.

Fingers crossed that you don't get any more rain @JamieB. Seems the rain in some places has gotten out of hand the last few years.

So water is down, but road is too washed out in 4 spots for me to drive out in my car. I used our farm truck, the front end is no good, but it got me out to get to work. I’ll make up this drill next month, they needed a medic then for an event. Arg. But we had one girl quit this morning, and one have a family emergency, so good thing I could work

 

[JamieB]

Idiots have been out driving the roads to get their trucks muddy and look cool. Um, no. It’d be better if you’d actually put some sweat into that, like, go feed the cows or check of the farmers fields, don’t just get your truck dirty. So I have to leave for work extra early, and risk my life on slick muddy areas near water, cause they wanted to play.

Boo to those bad boys @JamieB Shame on them. Be careful out there w/the morons!

Road to the north is worse. Just drove to town that way, and nope, I’m stuck in the gas guzzler until county gets it fixed.

@addy1 I used my extendable tree trimmer to cut my lilies back yesterday - the water was just a bit colder than I was willing to tolerate! It worked great!

I have a grabber. I want to bring them to the side so I add litter, fertilize and groom. I like doing it this time of year, instead of spring. We are so busy in the spring, one less thing to mess with.

 

[Lisak1]

Ah, gotcha!

Rode my bike, bought some bike shorts at a garage sale, brought home more rocks. Cleaned gunk off smaller pump filter screen. Mowed lawn. Fertilized Asparagus. Enjoying the sunshine! Need to sew bike bag as rocks are heavy and pulled the thread apart some. Gotta have more rocks! I say there are some rocks that are so big I don't think I will be able to lift them! Might have to ask hubby for help and drive car or truck to get them all. Great find!
