Ohhh, sugarmaple! No "liquor" for JT! She's a "glass of wine, please" lady (been at Xmascarol's home) and a "hot chocolate" (smickerdoodle's place)...and, yeah, she is one spoiled little "Jezzie!" That was her twin sister, TJ, out with lindasewandsew that got into "too much fun" at a wedding! I'm sure your DD will enjoy a new roommate! And your DH may find you a bit peculiar, but,don't worry, "that too shall pass." HAVE A GREAT TIME! (and she may be in Buckeye country...but she really LOVES that Hawkeye earring!) LOL, Jeanne S.

*&%#@^#% !!!! Now I wish I had saved more of my hosta seed! I have just a few I will be winter sowing. Oh, maybe next year. That's a good idea I had forgotten about. Connie

Brian, Of those you want to see I would rank their likelihood in this order: Southern Black Racer, Mississippi Green Water Snake, Green Tree Frog, Mud Snake, Bird-Voiced Tree Frog. I've seen all but the Bird-Voiced Tree Frog there and Racers and Mississippi Green Water Snakes are reasonably likely finds on any given day. The swamps along the road are the best spots for Mud Snakes and Mississippi Green Water Snakes (for Mud Snakes especially the swamp near the South road block...the end opposite Winter's Pond). That entrance is also the best place for Green Tree Frogs. Racers I usually see on the bluffs.

Yes this is an old thread, but extremely relevant; especially in light of Covid and all the insanity it is breeding. I have two nasty neighbors, so I got the luck of the draw. One on each side. The neighbor to the left was syrupy sweet for a few months, but that turned. The neighbor to the right is anal as all get out but feels as if he is entitled to encroach on our property, move things, dig our fence up because he felt it wasn’t level, take deck tiles he agreed to buy from me, but never made good on, mow over my outdoor area rug, and “accidentally“ destroy various things. The man isn’t crazy, just anal and entitled at 50 plus years old. Worse than a toddler. Never apologies or offers to replace what was damaged. I have felt like retaliating in several occasions, but I always pull myself together. My husband is now seeing things more and more. You are not crazy. Those that are calling you crazy must be “that crazy neighbor” to someone else or just plain evil and nasty. There are so many people in the world like this. A person entitled and miserable is extremely difficult to live by. I pray your situation has improved. We are hoping to move in a year or so. I will be sure to pay extra careful attention to the neighborhood and make certain there is ample distance between property lines. I want peace!
