More weather!

Yesterday was warm and sunny, and I got a little yard work done.

No prize for guessing what implement I'd been using just before this.

Today, we're catching the edge of a severe thunderstorm.  Rain, wind, lightning... haven't noticed any hail, but that was included in the warning.  Quarter-sized hail; expect damage to vehicles.  I'd just as soon not have any of that today, thank you very much.  I've been thinking we might want a proper detached garage for storing the vehicles all safe from weather and the big bad rabbit (or whatever it is that eats wiring harnesses), but that must needs await the driveway project - creating a driveway-adjacent patch of level ground suitable for a garage can surely be rolled into the driveway-extension operation.

Anyway, there's been so much wind from generally-Westish today that the cows have gotten blown Eastward and piled up along the fence.

Update:  We got mosquitoes.  Lots and lots of mosquitoes.  Apparently the frogs aren't keeping up.

We didn't have mosquitoes hardly at all last year, and there was a lot more water around.  What's different?  We didn't own the Annex last year, so they weren't our mosquitoes?  Anyway, next time there's an opportunity for spraying insecticide around the house and curtilage, I'll do so.  Looks like that'll be Monday morning; tomorrow is supposed to be wet'n'windy.

(For more indoors-type use, I tried to order some canned bug spray from Home Despot, being as how they show free shipping for a plausible type.  Alas, checkout wasn't working.  Maybe I should try again, from my laptop?)
