. net... this is yard fantasy land right now, except for the mosquitoes - correcto? Lucked out myself too. Laid some more soil out in some bare areas. Grass seed has needed little water added to keep soil moist. Another bare area is covered with newborne grass. Haven't seen any "skeeters" yet. Seeing mushrooms on/off again in unusual locations. Drought moved east. Dave |

Dave jeez, while I was online for the last hour or so a skeeter and a fly committed suicide in my shiraz - this is inside the house obviously they had problems handling alcoholic drinks |

If you have fish in your ponds or lots of water flow, mosquitoes won't breed there. Actually, we originally bought four 25 cent goldfish. They were one inch thick. After three years they grew to be about 12 inches and FAT. A heron came down and pierced one under the dorsal fin and the next door dog barked and the heron dropped it and left. So, it died for no reason. Then, the resident racoon did a job scratching them up so I took them and donated them to Hill Country Ponds on 183. I visit them! They're still growing. I do have moving water by waterfall in one pond, in the other one we have that water bell thing. It makes a globe of water? What's that called? BUT, we also live directly in the flight path of the McNeil Bridge where there exists the second largest urban bat colony in the United States. They hang out all night and eat everything in sight. Maybe I'm just lucky. Last night our sangha met here and I put out incense, lots of it and no mosquitoes. Who knows. |

Tons of mosquitos at my house. Has anyone noticed more leaves falling
lately? My live oaks have started dropping some leaves and I wondered if it's due to all the rain? Linda "jOhN" wrote in message . net... this is yard fantasy land right now, except for the mosquitoes - correcto? |
