You must get a good bit of sun in your yard, not enough sun in mine to get anything of value really anymore. Got down to 31 for a bit here this morning so who knows how it looks now.
Then why would you say to ever use rat poison? Anyone who cares about wildlife knows to never use it due to the secondary poisoning risk. So I should poison the cat and then poison one of the hawks or owls around here that eat at the carcass. Sure, makes perfect sense.
I had a damn milk snake in my house a couple weeks ago and no shortage of snake skins in the yard. You’d be surprised at all the creatures we have out in the country.
I assure you the cat kills way more mice, moles, and chipmunks than the couple of birds it ever manages to actually catch. Never underestimate the value of a good barn cat.
After my post, I had a feeling you were there, good for you. I kept looking to see if I could break down into the 30's but I just sat at 40 for a long time.
Since 6/1: 11.08"
My running average for 6/1-9/11: 15.35"
So I'm only down 4.27" compared to my running average for that period, I have certainly seen it drier here.
