Nice walk, nice pictures!

Looks like day lilies and iris?

Philip, the yellow flowers are daffodils. The blueish/light purple are iris. The open field was just mowed today by our neighbor who will soon roll it all up into hay bales.

Looks like a peaceful & tranquil place to be Gary!

Got any empty sheds? I'll work for food! LOL!

TPK, you're always welcome tho I consider the sheds unlivable. But there is a recliner and couch in the cutlery room.

Just a tad smaller than a golf ball.
It's out of the way, so I'll let it bee.

I crack myself up!

How are you going to feel about it when it is the size of a basketball? I have seen a few hornet nests that size along the river - I keep my distance from those things!

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 4:12 pm**

I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it.
When/if it gets to baseball size, I'll hose it down with bug killer and get rid of it.

Steve, do you know what critter is making that nest? It might be the beginning of a hornet's nest.
When I was working for the school board, one of the schools called and said there was a big hornet's nest in a pine tree on the playground. It was fairly high in the pine and I don't think any of the children had been stung but there was that possibility. We went Kolmetz Hardware and bought a box of 12 ga. high brass #4 "hornet removal shells".

The school was closed for some reason and of course maintenance didn't get all those days off so we figured we would take care of the hornet's nest in that time period. It was a big nest, about like a double sized football. We drove out to the tree and the feller that was with me loaded his Remington 1100 with the "hornet removal" shells and brought it down. The shot had torn it up enough that the hornets abandoned the remains fairly quickly. I think the next day we checked it a tossed it in a dumpster.
I was mowing a shooting lane some years ago and ran over a hornet's nest in a low scrub oak with a Massey Ferguson and a 6' bushhog mower. Needles to say I had to find another route out of that particular spot.

Many years ago I was riding a horse one afternoon. Wearing shorts and a t-shirt. As I rode I brushed a cedar tree that had a hornets nest in it.

First we had a rodeo.

I was trying to remain seated, and could see the hornets stinging the horse, mostly on the right shoulder. After I got myself and the horse away from there (still in the saddle BTW) and got the hornets off the horse, only then did I feel and see the welts all over my right leg! I was too busy at the time to notice they were stinging me too!

Nice photos and very entertaining, Garry. I am not worried about your imagination, but......if you happen to see any Lemmings out there on the tundra, DO NOT follow them over the cliff!

Good story, Ken. A video of that would have probably won you grand prize on AFHV.

QS, Ken you made me smile.

Progression: Then

: Once upon a time there was a little boy who was learning to fish.

Now

: Today there is a boy that apparently knows how to fish.

This is our oldest grandson, Christian.

D) All of the above.
Lookin' great, Phil!!

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2020 12:22 am**

TF, you seem to be mildly proud of that young man for more than his fishing abilities.

Nice bass! Congratulation TF, looks like a fine young man.
