Hahaha!
I don’t want to kill them, just scare them off and the air horn worked , I haven’t seen them since and the mulch is untouched :)
They’re probably all gone to birdy therapy lol…they were crashing into things in fright lol.

Mind you that might be why I got 6 eggs today instead of the usual 8, and one egg was 101 grams LOL!

great blog orchid – the flowers look perfect as always
- the shot of the nest is supersized when blown up – so i got a VERY good look as the two chicks – thank you.
psst – take it a bit slower – gardening is spose to be done at a gentle pace. LOL.

BUGGADAMMIT to borrow someone elses’s expression!
I put the last post on here and walked outside to water a couple of things and I heard CRACCCK! A big branch of the nectarine tree has broken off :(:(:(
Any polite ideas what I can do with a bucketful of hard nectarines? Nice and big but HARD!

damn – i guess the first thing is to prop the other laden branches with a bit of 3“x2” wood so you don’t lose any more. or maybe take a few fruit off to lessen the load.
at worst they can be composted but – maybe a liqueur can be made? fruit leather?

Now a liqueur sounds nice – but I don’t have a clue about making them!
