Fortunately, the only critters on this farm are the kitties. Ok......and the deer, possums, racoons, skunks. LOL!
LOTS of mowing, working in the flower beds (a bumper crop of weeds this year. grrrrrrr!), getting the garden area ready for planting the veggies, getting the outside of the house ready for painting (we never got it painted last fall), all that fun stuff.
Helping hubby' aunt with things she needs done takes a bit of doing, too. She's not driving much so we take turns playing taxi driver when she needs to go somewhere. It all adds up and before we know it, time's run out...and energy, too. LOL!

Coolbeans, just deer fencing to deal with around garden stuff.
Had to help out with the missus former mother in law's flowerbeds last week.
(The missus is still friends with her ex-hubby's mom.. odd, right?)
But I had to remove the dead peony stalks so that the new growth doesn't tangle up on the dead stuff when it comes time to weed all over agin and trim off spent buds.
At least the deer didn't eat the roses this year.
But the one doesn't look good.
It got nibbled last year, and then got black spot mid summer last year.
It's barely hanging in there as it sits.
And one of the others, supposedly a granda flora, has suddenly decide to become a climbing rose.
So her roses need LOTS of attention when I can get to them fully.
