Several years ago, my youngest son designed, excavated, poured concrete and put in the stone walkway with a tear drop shape garden in the centre. Last year he rebuilt the porch deck. My problem is that everything grows too well in the space (must be the love he added to it) and I lack the killer instinct to whack things back. I've noticed lately it's getting out of control. The only thing that doesn't grow is what you can't see, the patch of grass that I was standing on to take the photo. I've planted it over and over again. One small patch, it's driving me crazy.

He sat on his haunches,unintimidated and unmoving in the middle of my path. He looked at me, I looked at him. He turned his attention to the dog off having fun chasing ducks in the pond, I started yelling and waving my arms. He looked back at me (I'm positive I saw his eyebrow arch) then back at the dog. He didn't seem concerned that I was there. Then casually he stood up and sauntered slowly away, crossing the creek heading back to the woods probably to meet the rest of his gang! I like to listen to their howling and yelping and playing too ... as long as I'm inside! Call me irrational (you wouldn't be the first!!! Don't even get me started on my crazy bear story!) You see Canajun, I'm not a very fast runner so I expect I'd always be the first one to be eaten!VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-80941111025455033752015-07-30T21:27:29.517-04:002015-07-30T21:27:29.517-04:00What's the concern about coyotes?
