Life in 'the tropics' of Southern Indiana, the high desert of the southwest and back to 'the tropics' with the hounds and dogs.

Water Company Excitement
With the predicted Hurricane surge hitting us this weekend, starting Friday ... I did all the yard work on Thursday. Besides mowing and trimming around the inside and outside of the fence along with the driveway and landscape edging ... I took the weedeater and buried it in the ditch that had formed where the Bradford Pear tree use to be. After they cut the tree down 3 years ago, they ground the stump but fill the hole back up with wood sawdust. I think covered it with topsoil and new grass seed.

I'm A Transport Volunteer
You may have heard me lately complaining a little about about the holes that Ava has been digging. When I saw her first hole I thought it was a sign of a bored puppy but after reading more about the German Shepherd breed, it's in their DNA ... it's what they do. So today I see I have a Facebook message from my cousin, the one that kinda talked me into getting Ava so she would be in a good home.
This picture is in the Facebook message with a note ... "Ava's sister". Her sister looks a little bigger also.

A Lot Of Yard Activity
Ava and I only saw one rabbit today but early Sunday morning I counted four of them, sitting motionless in that area of my neighbors yard. Ava will sprint to the fence and bark once she sees one but it's strange that there was no response from Henry and Watson about what was in the neighborhood.
Basset Hounds are bred to hunt rabbits. He sat on the patio and started at the rabbit but nothing else.

A Few Changes
I was going to talk about a few changes since my last post and right off the bat trying to start this post, some of those changes prevented me from loading photos to this blog using Safari but works when I tried Firefox as a browser. Also the photos did not load in the order I wanted them too so at least fore these first three photos I will change my thoughts on what I was going to talk about into the order of the photos.
