A Peaceful Backyard Interlude


I bet you're wondering what the terror of Texas' back roads does on his day off.  Well, wonder no more.  Here's the skinny.



I began my day at the crack of nine.  Breakfast was Corn Chex and green tea.  Then, I launched an assault on three very ugly Cedars (Junipers, actually) in my backyard.  They've been on my hit list for several months.  Today, their numbers came up.  Two of them were easy.  They grew at the margin of my property and leaned toward the creek that crosses my property.  A little chainsaw persuasion and they took a dive into the chasm.  Now, they are God's problem. 

The next flood will recycle them, someplace.  The third was a struggle.  I got most of it chopped into manageable bits before I decided to call it a day.  No sense making a sickness of these chores, I always say.

Then, showered and re-dressed, I retired to my patio, camera in hand, to relax and refresh after an arduous morning.  While there, I noticed several critters that frequent my "Wild Kingdom Lunch Counter."  I experimented with photographing the little darlings and even made a video. It is below this post.

Check it out.  It is different from the pavement-melting motorcycle videos.  I guarantee four minutes of mind-numbing peace and tranquility.

Enjoy!
