Lots of small critters after harvest and the hawks had a nice feeding ground and we had no mice in the house. One of funniest things I have seen was a red tail chasing a squirrel down our driveway, squirrel ran up a tree jumped onto the outer garage roof, panted and looked like whew made it...apparently didnt realize the hawk could elevate up to a roof, and the chase was on again. squirrel finally realized sitting on a branch near trunk was the best idea. then the hawk gave up.<br />DonnaSam&Donna Weibelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405315775347233295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-73861271272392303862013-06-01T06:21:18.574-05:002013-06-01T06:21:18.574-05:00Egads...maybe you should reread your job descripti...Egads...maybe you should reread your job description and be sure latrine duty it there.

At Sacramento, we cleaned in between the hired cleaners. Did get to clean up several messes where people missed the hole. But getting to spend about two hours in a company vehicle, taking pictures, talking to visitors and generally having fun made the two - five minute actually cleaning a breeze.

I have cleaned for my family for years, and in my own home now, but I'll be darned if I do a job that the state or federal government, or private campground owners, should pay someone to do. I think they are asking too much of a volunteer. This is my personal opinion.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
