Vega! \u00a0She’s not supposed to be in there. \u00a0Why? \u00a0She chews up the netaphim and digs big holes. \u00a0Vega and Rigel have systematically\u00a0breached\u00a0the fence that has kept them out for years. \u00a0Why now? \u00a0Who knows. \u00a0Instead of climbing over it, or trying to fit between the rails–closed off since its installation by green metal wire, they decided this year that maybe digging under it just might work. \u00a0They were right.<\/p>\n

Up till now I’ve fixed each breach as it came, using various remedies that came to mind at the moment. \u00a0This morning I stripped out of all those, maybe 6, and laid down hardware cloth, weaving it to the green metal fencing with lengths of baling wire. \u00a0No bubble gum, but bailing wire is an all purpose, duct-tape like tool for outside repairs.<\/p>\n

Putting in the lilies and iris has moved to this afternoon after the nap. \u00a0Toward which I am now headed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
