    Attracting bats

    It might take a while for the bats to take up residence in your bat house. As RichZ said, white nose is destroying bat populations. You could try adding a water source or adding night blooming flowers. These things will make your bat house more attractive to potential residents! :)

    Potato Bugs

    My family has a huge problem with potato bugs each year. We've dealt with them by picking them off our plants as soon as we see them, but I want to take a more proactive approach. Does anyone know how to keep the potato bugs from attacking our plants?

    Duck Kidnapping

    I haven't heard of this, but it's awful that people's pet ducks are being stolen. It seems pretty silly to me. It would make a little more sense if it was ducklings that were being stolen, but why would anyone want to steal an adult duck?

    Problems With Deer

    You could always try a hot pepper spray. However, I think that the best deterrent is going to be a physical barrier of some kind. Deer are very determined, so any deterrent isn't going to work for very long.

    Best weed whacker

    Our family has one by Ryobi that works well. I think we got it at Home Depot? It is gas powered and we like it just fine. :)

    In 1 word describe your weekend?

    I'm going with relaxing! I've had a really busy last few weeks, and today was a chance for me to slow down and take a breath. I'm hoping that tomorrow is equally relaxing.

    Favorite Season

    I get tired of snow too! It gets to be quite a chore here shoveling it, so I'm always happy when it starts to melt. It is pretty for the first few days, but it gets to be a lot of work after a while.

    Favorite Season

    What's your favorite time of year? I love spring, because that means I can get outside and start working in my garden. I also love seeing all the birds come back from migration. Spring is such a beautiful time of year!

    Got Any Firearms?

    My family has a few guns that we mostly use for hunting and shooting sports. I don't use them myself, but they are respected and kept safe from small hands.

    16 year old gift

    If he doesn't want anything in particular, you could always set aside some money for him in an investment account. He'll be thankful for that gift in a few years!

    Never take for granted again?

    I got to see my grandmother today for the first time! It was wonderful not worrying about spreading the virus to her and making her ill. I'm so thankful that the vaccine is widely available and that people are choosing to get vaccinated.

    Raising bunnies

    I had no idea that a rabbit could die from stress! Is this just something that can happen to captive rabbits, or can it happen to wild rabbits too?

    Raccoon getting flowers

    The raccoon is probably smelling food and trying to dig it up. This is the time of year when the babies arrive, so if the raccoon is a female, she has added incentive to look for food.

    Tomatoes in!

    Last year, our family planted a variety called Early Girl that ripen sooner than the other tomatoes. It was really nice having some ready to eat a bit earlier than what we are used to! :)
