....at it's "FINEST" !!!
HORSES can be real Destructive!!
This one is getting a taste of my NEW remedy...we'll see if it works!I mixed 1/4 cup Cayenne pepper, 20 drops of Tabasco into 1 1/2 cup water.
I just 'painted' it on the chew shots! Hope it burns them into quitting!
Figures...they just HAD to get it chewed through while Cowboy is gone! I'll be keeping an eye on them all today....see how well they like HOT LIPS!

Today.............my spinach is gone! If you look really close, maybe you can see these blackish/gray 3/4" bugs, devouring the beets!
They don't seem to sting...just cling when I walk through them!

Just hosed them off my beans, because that seems to be their next course!
I need to find something that works!
Preferably in the next minute!
Seems as this swarm can consume everything in sight within minutes!

Between the wind storms wiping out the corn & now this infestation, I'm ready to go out with a machete and destroy whatever is left! I've never had problems in my veggie gardens in all my years!
With the state of the economy...I NEEDED this garden to be productive,
not destroyed!

MICE have invaded my domain!

During the wee hours of the last few nights, I've been "hearing" something... I donned my slippers, a flashlight & a bat....guess what I found!
They are chowing down on the dog food in the hall closet!
They like sunflower seeds too! Even the Jalepeno ones!!!
They found these in the basement!

DOG GONE IT...anyhow!!

Just got 'caught' red handed! Ooops....maybe that is 'brown-pawed'...The Old Man Mac....must be UPSET he got left behind!
He probably knows the Cowboy went to his old stomping grounds! Where he was born & raised, and learned to work cattle!
Here's two of the 5 holes I've found that he has dug thus far!!

....and then in comes RELIEF!

Yesterday....I was blessed with a visit from FedEx!
I received a package from one of my dear Blogging friends...TOCCO!A sampling of her Gourmet House Blend & Sumatra Black Satin!
MMMMmmmmmm ... GOOD!!
Sat on my front porch last night as the sun was setting on the horizon beyond those "amber waves of grain"
...sipping a cup of Sumatra Black Satin....AWESOME!
I'm all de-stressed now after all the de-struction!
Thank You TOCCO!
