Okay I have lots to talk about from the weekend, but, alas , my son just called and he needs a bucket for fish. I guess he didn’t make a list this morning. Lol

MWC took a good pic of him Friday.

Saturday, before I went digging, I took a tray of my garden starter plants out to the table on my deck. There’s nothing out there, no awning or anything. All open. I step back into the house, grab another tray of plants and take it to the sink to water. A flipping tick fell from my head and landed in that catch all spot us ladies have, and I instantly started the screaming and swatting and cursing. Disbelief! Major melt down. It’s only April 23rd for crying out loud and the dang thing had to have been crawling on my house because there’s nothing else out there! Son of a biscuit! That’s happened to me once before and it ended up being a very bad summer of fighting ticks, I got swollen lymph nodes in my neck and sickly! I am not looking forward to that. I took out my frustration by burning the tick.

Mornin all.

Danged yardwork..
Raked backyard yesterday and it about won the battle.
Would rather be playing.

W.D. , at least with all that old iron and the harrow tooth and sickle bar tooth , there has to be an old farm around there somewhere!
And the horse effluent dissipated over time , so you're not finding that.
:laughing7:

Congrats on the diggins!

Last year when the ground hog dug this bottle up, I started digging out his tunnel. I soon realized that this “cellar” has 2-3 feet of debris dumped in it.

Then a couple weeks ago, I went out past the sidewalk and imagined where there may have been cars parked back in the day. I got a rusty target and dug. It was about 18” deep. I hit gravel, like an old driveway. The light bulb finally went off. The evidence is there that this place burned. I thought it might have exploded because bricks are strewn everywhere. Now I am thinking that a farmer at some time between 38-100 years ago, knocked the remnants down and then spread it around and then put fill dirt on top of it. So, yeah, I have got layers of rusty crap to find, but I am not changing my username yet, Bart. Lol
Releventchair, thanks for the ID . It explains a lot because I have found a few harrow tooth spikes then , including one up at the campground. This farm has been a farm of crops and/cattle since 1832.


So my game plan has changed. I went to the west section of the foundation where I found this bottle a year or two ago.

I found a target and just started digging with a regular shovel and left the hole. I am just going to work on it little by little. Then I went down hill to the creek and did the same thing. That is where I found the harrow spike and the hook thing. So that’s what I did for Saturday.

We've had the already. One was going up my pant leg, down by the mill pond. Max has had 4 latched, and we've got a few crawling up his legs.
Gross little arfers they are, I hate them.

Spring they crawl up on things that we use. Handles of anything, gas cans, tractor, seats of chairs.
Nothing is off the table when it comes to them trying to lat h on.
Any little itch, fly, mosquitoe I'm grabbing swatting, pinching, wacking myself silly till winter again.
Why do we like summer, everything is trying to suck me blood dry.
Black flies and mosquitoes are out now.
Swat-swat
