Each of the Iconic women in my life has a gun story around it.
My mom has pulled a shotgun on me.
My aunt has held me at gunpoint with a .38
Each of my ex's took pistols as parting gifts in the respective divorces.
Mrs Lokie respects the right of the people to keep and bear Arms
and as of this posting has not shot me yet.
This time I'm
P.S.
My sister owns her own firearms.

Make your garden the envy of your neighborhood!
10 ways pine straw outperforms other mulches:
Longevity - doesn't float and wash away and breaks
down more slowly, so it doesn't need to
be reapplied as frequently as other mulches
Lightweight - easier to handle and lighter per cubic foot
than other mulches: one of our bales covers
as much area as 30 cubic feet of most
mulches!
Cost - cost per square foot competitive with
other mulches: as low as $1.29* per cubic foot
delivered to your door!
Soil health - breathes better, doesn't compact, and
allows for better water infiltration
Simple - easy to apply: just unroll and scatter by hand
(click to watch our pinestraw spreading video)
Pest free - doesn't attract termites
Plant health - adds organic material and nutrients to soil
and reduces weeds
Visually appealing - the uniform color and fine texture of pine
straw brings out the color, contrast, and
texture of your landscape
Erosion control - use where grass won't grow to hold soil
Sustainable - no harvesting of trees to produce
Master Gardeners - they use it and you should see their flowerbeds!
Zoos use it - it's easy to clean and replace
without destroying the soil in the
exhibit and some animals enjoy
it as bedding
Great for nests - used frequently for bird houses
I like the looks of using it as just a ground cover. I gave some thought to
covering my ski slope with it in the summertime. But I went with the old pine bark mulch instead.

Mulch for landscaping. Longleaf brings the most. I was getting 100 bucks an acre, so 2K for that stand of pines. That just about paid the land taxes, so I will miss it.

Most folks are holding up. There is not much you can do, so not worth worrying about it. Sister is a neat freak, and she is having problems dealing with it. She got a little bit of FEMA money and ran to her daughter's in Denver two weeks after the storm. But the mess was still waiting for her when she came home. The loggers have been cutting her hardwood this week, and she said she had bad dreams about trees falling every night.

Ahh, it's not a product in Calif; probably because of the pine blister disease; killing tons of pines here. When I first bought my place 35 yrs ago, I planted 35 pines of various species; only survivors are 2 of native species and 4 Italian stone pines

There are millions of acres of planted pines here in the Florida panhandle, so. . . . Bark is the mulch of choice out west.
Slash pines was king forever, but the native longleaf is making a comeback thanks to conservation programs. {We took that land out of rowcrops and got cost-sharing on the prep and planting, and got 1K a year for 15 years. Couldn't thin or sell pinestraw until it was off the program}
The pine beetle has been active here for years. You have to keep an eye on things, or they will go south in a hurry.

I made a pot of coffee at lunch. Remembered it about an hour ago when I poured the first cup. Needless to say, nuclear propulsion was needed to bring it back to optimal temperature. 2nd cup I added a heaping spoon of Miss Swiss. Not too bad.

Trying to kill some time today so I got a decent pic of some eagles sitting on a tree in the back 40.
I'm heading out to Green Bay later today to put money down on a Pug puppy. I wanted to wait until it got warmer to get a new pup so house breaking would be easier but the wife found one somewhat close for a good price. Taking the family out to Red Lobster after since my daughter's never had it and I haven't in over 10 years.

You can't swing a dead cat around here without bitch slapping a few of those.
One flew past the window as I am typing this just to prove my point (I guess).

One of the families has a nest on a neighbor's land about a mile away, they hang out here daily. I've seen as many as 15 at one time but that's because we feed them.

Legendary Human-Eating Bird Was Real, Probably Could Have Eaten People
In Maori legend, Te Hokioi was a giant bird that preyed on children, and science says that’s probably the truth

Apparently Haast eagle went extinct only 500 yr ago; because humans killed off it's primary prey the Moa
