The ground is nearly too hard to dig. No rain for a while.

Not to whine, but the deer flies came out today. If you aren’t familiar, their bite feels like a crazy person with a set of vice grips. I found my usual ferrous , farm equipment parts, a spiral shank nail and the small iron box (tin). The lid lifts off (may have hinges originally) and the center tray is divided into 3 sections. The sections are semi-circular in shape. I’d guess they once held, sin-sin lozenges, or something similar. Seems too large for aspirin. Thanks

At least you got to dig dirt.
We just got our lovely deer flies yesterday.
I like your description on their bites.🤣

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

I’ve fought those deer flies for yrs. Nasty blood suckers! I’ve used these sticky patches and they work pretty well. Doesn’t help when they go for arms or hands though. I got them online 5 or 6 yrs ago but don’t remember where. Probably still available.
