Yikes! Rain
Posted in Weather on 10-Mar-2016
It’s already one of the wettest years in Seattle history.
Squirrel Deportations Continue
Posted in Animals on 10-Mar-2016
I captured three more gray squirrels today and transferred them to the other side of the river. Our bird seed should last a lot longer now but I think there are still a couple of them hanging around nearby.
Battling the Squirrels
Posted in Animals on 5-Mar-2016
The big gray squirrels have become quit the pests now that they are so numerous: I counted seven on the patio few days ago. So I put out the trap I bought a while back and got the first captive within fifteen minutes.
Wettest Seattle Winter
Posted in Weather on 2-Mar-2016
The “official” rainy season runs from October 1 to March 1. And we’ve just had the wettest five-month season in Seattle history with 38.22 inches of rainfall, about 13 inches above average. And the long-term forecast calls for more rain for most of March!
Fern Garden at Rest
Posted in Around the house on 17-Feb-2016
We are working on clearing out old fern fronds and other winter cleanup (since it looks like it we will have an early spring). I took this photo of the fern-less fern garden to compare to June or so when all 15-some ferns have emerged.
Landscaping Underway
Posted in Around the house on 12-Feb-2016
With tree removal and cleanup mostly complete, we acquired a magnolia and snobell to fill in along our western property line and added 6 yards of topsoil. Things will look ok come spring and really nice in seasons to come as these two mature and flower.
Golf
Posted in Golf on 7-Feb-2016
I took advantage of an unexpected nice weather day to play a round at Mt. Si. I had an excellent start going par-par-par-birdie for the first four holes. My short game was not very sharp on the back nine and I settled for an 86. Happy enough for this time of year.
Tree Clearing Day 2
Posted in Around the house on 28-Jan-2016
All done. The yard and garden are a mess: muddy and strewn with twigs and sawdust. Here’s some indication of before and after. We’ll be adding deciduous trees to obscure the neighbor’s house a bit.
Tree Clearing Day 1
Posted in Around the house on 27-Jan-2016
I finally got Trisha to agree to have more trees cleared from our back yard: 10 are planned to be taken down and another ten or so thinned. These are the two near to the house on the east and west sides of the yard.
