The Frog and the Snake

As Nana said, "I've never seen that before!" -- We were driving home down the rock road when we saw a huge frog hopping down the road toward us as fast as he could. Then we saw behind him a black racer snake coming as fast as he could to catch the frog. Both headed into the ditch on the right as we drove by.

We've planted some more tomatoes and squash. The green beans are coming up and the little lemons, oranges, & grapefruit are starting to show. The asparagus is starting to slow down. I got a load of mushroom mulch (about 1 ton) on Saturday and have already spread it over the garden with the front-in loader. I need to get another load to put around trees and in flower beds.

Nana's happy as her parent's house and property sold last Thursday. We've gone to pull a few more things out of the house. I wanted to buy a seedless Mandarin orange plant at Wal-Mart that was on sale for $15, but Nana thought we didn't need it.

We're working on figuring out how to save money on gasoline. To fill up my 5 gallon can for the lawn mower, I spent about $20. We are conserving trips to town. What next?
