Mostly the more than two legged kind.
When I work in the yard I wear suspenders. Why? To hold my pants up! (Sorry, that was an old joke: Why do firemen wear red suspenders......you got the rest.)
I can go all morning with a belt and I am fine . But for some reason, as the day goes on my pants have a tendency to slip. A lot. So to save my neighbors' eyesight and sweet dreams, I wear suspenders.
Mowing today I almost ran over a frog. A frog, not a toad. This frog is living in my culvert. He's big and green, with bulgy eyes. Looks like a frog.
We have toads in the yard. I found two while mowing, and caught one for a picture.
Tonight I found one on the porch. I am glad I found it and not Corki.
I like the toads and frogs because they eat bugs.
Yesterday I got my binoculars out to check on a large bird circling overhead. Turned out to have a white head and brown body, which puts it in the eagle class for me.
When I mow there are swifts that fly darn close to my head. They catch the moths and insects that the mower scares up. It's really neat to see them pick a moth right out of the air. Sometimes I think they are going to fly right into my face, but they never do.
I was cleaning out stuff from the garage and found a pile of bird seed in my fountain basin. Now, the only way it could have gotten there was if a little mouse carried it to the yard cart, and into the basin. I also found sunflower seed shells in a box, so I suspect strongly I have a mouse in the garage. Or maybe more.
I took some stuff of a shelf and turned.
Something hit me in the right side of back! I spun around and it hit me in the back again, this time on the left side. I did a quick jump to get it off but it hit me again.
So I swatted at it.
It was a suspender strap that came off my pants. It was flopping around like a politician on steroids.
Boy, was I embarrassed. I was just glad no one was watching. And I was glad my pants didn't fall down.
Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay home.
Peace and Love
