kirkcudbright1) Spent most of the weekend ripping up a piece of the front lawn, in order to plant more wildflowers. I way overseeded, so now I need to get more seed. The catch is that I'm going to have to wait for the seed to sprout, to see exactly where I stopped.
We don't hate grass, we just like wildflowers more. And we want to send a big fuck-you to the big-ass McMansions that are going in next door.
2) Finally evicted the meeces from the BBQ. When the snow melted a few weeks ago, we found the grill cover in this shape:
Well, duh. The meeces that were feeding from the bird feeder had made a nest in the grill:
And here's one of the little rascals, scairt out onto the propane tank:
At the time, I moved the nest into a paper sack, and left them alone for the time being.
Today was the day that I actually wanted to use the grill for its intended purpose, so I fetched out the paper sack. I'd expected it to be shredded and added to the nest, but it wasn't. I stapled it shut, put it in a grocery bag for good measure, then we all drove out to the brush pile in the state forest where we'd released the other meeces. It wasn't until we dumped out the nest that we saw the baby. About an inch long, already furred, but still a baby. We'll go back tomorrow morning to check on them, see if the've moved the nest further into the brush pile, or at least moved the baby.
