Carol’s Dragonfly Ranch

Home of Carol’s Pond

The weather has been rather nasty. Mother Nature has thrown a temper tantrum this past month. We were without power for about 2 days. But there has been high winds and hail. The hail was small, but it still made a lot of noise on the sunroom roof which is all glass. The sunroom had one panel that liked to leak, not much but enough I sat a bucket to catch the drips. But this past Veteran’s Day, my God son Russ Voorhies got on the roof and caulked the living you know what, out of it. IT STILL LEAKED!!!! However since the weather has warmed up, the caulk has settled and the leak is gone. It is supposed to rain for the next several days, so we shall see.

I have spent the morning working in the yard picking up the dead limbs that came down in the storm. I got 4 wheel barrels full from the back yard alone. There is a load on the deck and the back walk going to the shop. The front yard will probably produce 2 loads and then I can mow.

Now for the real news. I have a roommate, I don’t know if it is male or female. I have named it Squatter. I opened the front door yesterday and it came running in like it owned the place. Of course, it is a lizard. Maybe I can save on extermination services. It is pretty, but I don’t want a roommate.

Sorry I forgot to post this.
