I got completely over the "cute factor" of bunnies when I used to have to shoo them out of my garden -- whenever I'd see one of the feral cats get one of them, I'd cheer! If something is going to eat my garden, I'd far rather it was a deer -- you can shoot and eat those!
Nature is red in tooth and claw...

I understand! David would put in a huge garden yearly and we'd reap the harvest of it as well from our fruit trees (kept me going most of the summer with one or the other putting them up for our use) - but in the beginning, we had to clear the land of old incinerators and cement hunks and rocks from the neighbor's yard she was eliminating (3-6" big ones) - we just happened to share some of the gophers and lizards and feral cats with THEM as we did so... what goes around comes around - haha
hmm she quit tossing her unwanted rocks in our yard too! and we graciously helped them eliminate any stray gophers with our traps, as well... all innocently done, but purposefully too. ie, you've got new neighbors that can do likewise if you wish, or not.
Our adopted ferrel cat (Sampson) often brought us lizard tails, baby bunnies, occasionally a little bird, and when he met his end, I guess it was only fitting that a larger than him critter caught him off guard and ended his traveling with us. (coyote)
Growing up, my dad put in a big garden every year. We had some pilferage from bunnies and deer. It's a good thing they got blamed for all the stuff my brother and I swiped, too. Nothing like fresh off the vine beefsteak tomatoes!! LMAO
Happy 4th of July!!
Congrats Red on 6 months!
I see that Andria is BBQing chicken. Do the rest of you have any plans?
I don't really have any plans.
I can't BBQ because I loaned my neighbor my propane tank which she promised to return filled because it was just filled before I loaned it to her..... But of course she returned it empty.
No biggy I am sure that worse things can happen.

Thanks!!! No big plans here. Supposed to be going out, but we'll see. We normally go on Fridays, but Jim was running late last night, so we said we'd go tonight. Maybe BBQ...lol
No plans here. Son is working today, daughter will be working later on an overnight shift. It's been raining all day so we'll probably go out for dinner. Don't know if we plan on going to see fireworks.
I do not even know where they are setting fireworks off around here. LOL
I would rather avoid the holiday traffic.
I hear ya. About two or three years ago, we decided to do the whole NYC 4th of July thing. Drove down to Coney Island to see the Nathan's hot dog eating contest (funny thing is hadn't been in Coney Island since I was a kid....it seemed bigger in my memory), and then we hung around Manhattan for the Macy's NYC fireworks show that evening. The street was packed and people were packed in the street like sardines. The closest we were able to get to the Hudson River was half a block away. Still had a great view and now we can say we've done it and don't need to do it again.
Our neighborhood will be a battle zone. Fireworks are legal year round, which shocked me. My first Christmas here, I had to move 7 weeks before Jim did, and I fell asleep early Christmas Eve. About 10 pm, the fireworks started. I thought there was a shoot out on the street...lol...I asked one of the girls who worked for me what the deal was with fireworks on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Very deadpan she says " we Hispanics will blow up s**t for any reason". Was the first time she cut loose around me since I'd been here.
ROFLMAO!!! I guess that explains why MY STREET! is alive with fireworks for the slightest excuse -- lots of hispanics round hyeah!
We'll be out grilling the chicken, which has been marinating overnight in BBQ sauce. Our poor cat will be in here, no doubt hiding under the bed -- these people take fireworks SERIOUSLY! We had some rain this morning, that huge blob shown on radar must have been a really slow-moving blob, it was still raining at 11am. Sunny now, though I think some rain/t'storms may be a possibility later. No worries; we always use the front porch for grilling, just in case: it has a roof!
The first xmas/new years we lived here, my mom asked if we did anything for new year's eve. I said "we went out to the end of the driveway and watched all the fireworks!"

I'm just going to spend time with friends. Going to one friend's for a cookout, then going to another's for a nice little bon fire the rest of the evening.
I see you all hiding there Jode and Kprthevapr. What's the matter? Won't they let you come out and play.
Doesn't help that there is a fireworks stand in the gas station parking lot just outside the entrance to our neighborhood. Buy one, get 12 free. Yesterday I saw a guy loading about a dozen bags into the trunk of his car. New years, Christmas,Easter, thanksgiving, July 4th, mothers day.....all louder than Cinco De Mayo. Go figure.mROFLMAO!!!

This cracked me up. "For youuuuu.... just a day old dry bun." That'll teach him not to lose stuff again yeh. Or, you could give him the bun with a straight face and wait till he asks where the hamburger is. Look at it shocked like
and say something like, geez man you have Got to be more careful about losing stuff.
