CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

The rye grass is starting to come on now, especially with all the moisture and the temps are bringing on the clover, weeds, and vetch. I don't know if the winter peas will spring back or not, but have seen some starting to show again. I checked the trees after ya posted ya was seeing buds and we have them forming too. If the temps make it into the 70s as they are saying, then the bugs will start coming back out too and I would like to get some on the ditch cut before that happens....

I've already had run ins with mosquitoes and that after only a few warmer days. Heck, I've killed them inside the house when the temps outside were sub freezing. No idea where they come from or how they survive.

.I'll be sure to grab a life preserver in case I slip into the ditch...

And teach Gabbie how to pull you out with a rope.

That might not be a bad idea...

There are so many vines in the ditch @Bruce and @Wehner Homestead that a rope isn't necessary...I could just whack one from around a tree and swing like Tarzan out of it...

Not real sure if ya remember about my post on this new rye grass variety that I sowed this year, but it is out performing those of the past and for right now I'm liking the results....but, if it keeps raining, then I may be cutting it every 3-4 days come April and May....the variety is Big Boss and this is a pic of some in the field.... ...it got set back during the fridgid temps a few wks ago, but is recovering very well and it is growing daily. The goats and ducks really like it and if it continues with daily differences, I will consider trying to make some hay with it and see how that works out...if nothing else I can use it for duck bedding and for the goats too...and save the bought hay just for eating. I will, as I have in the past, keep updating on this as this experiment progresses. It also is suppose to have a good reseeding rate for rye grass....so, I will probably let some go to seed and see how it does.

Because they are TEXAS TOUGH.

I've had flies get in the house. Don't they know it snowed and froze and they should be DEAD?

I saw a couple of red wasps flying around today. It won't be too much longer now, tho it did thunder in February..night before last was most recent.

We are getting inundated with those infernal, stinky Japanese Beetles, masquarading as Ladybugs. Yesterday we had at least 75 of them on the screen, of our bedroom window. On Wednesday night, one landed on my foot, while I was watching TV, and BIT ME!!!!! OUCH!!! This was not the 1st time that has happened, but it was the most painful.
