Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend with a break from the usual routines! Here it was pretty much the same as any other day. Sunday afternoon we visited a local nursery that has wonderful gardens to see. I like to wander around and get ideas. It’s especially nice to see what can actually grow and look good in the difficult circumstances here in Kansas.<\/p>\n

The snakes are getting ready for winter, too, look what I found:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These were both over 4 ft with belly scales on that top one about\u00a0 2″ wide!\u00a0 They are just Blacksnakes, good to have around except in baby bird season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>No wonder we don’t have a lot of frogs anymore; I hope they are getting the mice too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
