POTD: Lovely Box
Update:
Thanks to blogger J. T. Twissel, this is an insect trap, used to study insect infestations. Thank you, dear!
We have a small kids’ park called Turnip Patch Park. It has a little stream running through it with a covered wooden bridge, park benches, a butterfly garden and, at one time, a piece of artwork on a concrete slab. On the back side of it, adjacent to someone’s home is this lovely box. Out of curiosity, I opened it, expecting to see guano, thinking it was a bat box but, instead, I found wasps. Hm. ~Vic

Shutterbug Saturday: Frog Strangler 2.0
We continue to have stormy, rainy weather and the temperature has dropped, considerably. We traded floods for tornadoes, yesterday. I learned, today, that two small farms south of town were damaged. I have a healthy respect for Mother Nature. ~Vic

This helped flood my neighbor's backyard.

The town closed it for a couple of days.
I saw a juvenile garter snake making its way back across the walk when I was out on the third day.



Shutterbug Saturday: Frog Strangler
Or, Toad Strangler or, Gully Washer… My dad was fond of the frog saying and my maternal grandfather always used the latter. All three are good descriptions of the storm that just swept through here, today. I haven’t seen this much water since Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Have mercy… ~Vic

The backdoor neighbor had his own mini-river.

Water from the next door neighbor’s poor drainage…

The Eno hasn’t crested, yet and, the water is at his backdoor right now.


One sewer access is over-flowing.

See my previous post on this.
