Good rainy morning to you and to that other person too. It is 43 degrees and there is a lite rain this morning, we are thankful for the rain. 17 days till Christmas eve.

Let's see if the Don did anything interesting or productive yesterday; he did decide to water the plants in the hot house and in doing so he found that there are unwelcomed creatures in the hot house. Some of the plants have been eaten partially and one small plant is totally gone. I also found a bunch of dirt on the floor under a flower pot. There are ants in the flower pot moving dirt from one side to the other and then some dirt over the top of the pot.

I assume there are either mice or rats eating the plants, as I found a small hole dug under the side of the shed, and there is a small hole that I have in the floor so I can bring the electric wire into the hot house. I did set some rat traps and mice traps to see if I can get some answers as to what is doing this. I did block the outside hole to stop entry from the outside, I have a plan to block the hole inside the house with a movable board. The ants I hope to eliminate with some bug spray.   

            I did go to Dave's house yesterday and get the tables and chairs that we had taken there for the Thanksgiving meal. Back at home I had to put all these items back in their original locations, and that was a lot of work.

I called Alex to see how he did on his test yesterday, and he did good. I also helped my favorite wife install the new decoration on the front porch next to the three crosses. I even got the electric connected so the church would light up with the other items a 6:00pm.

            Tres did have something in the back 40 and he was digging a hole and burying the thing. We thought it was either a rabbit or a squirrel. Later he dug it up and moved it to another location and was going to bury it again. I went out and found that he had a squirrel so I took it from him and tossed it in the trash can. No, he had not tried to eat it, he was just hiding it, probably for a later meal. 

Today being Saturday, we will attempt to go into town for the sandwich and the cheap store if the rain doesn't rain too hard and keep us from getting into and out of the Ford's ole Chevy.

 I will stop for now; we hope you have a good and safe day while you are being positive in all you do.

Rats or mice and ants. 😐

Senior ole person who needs to get going and do nothing, Don the Ford 

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
