country living: porches, deer and robots
First task today was to finish the trench for the landscape lighting cable. I was relaxing, I mean, supervising Rick from the comforts of our porch on our new rocking chair (another great bargain found on sale at Big Lots), when I spied two visitors just across from our front lawn.
In the first picture, you can just about see two deer on our neighbor’s drive. Luckily, I had my camera to hand and snapped a couple of photos. Seeing that I needed the telescopic lens, I ran inside, changed the zoom and took the second close-up. I guess this is one of the joys of country living – having such fab wildlife in your front yard!
Anyhoodles, after that little bit of excitement, Rick and I got on with finishing the landscape lighting. Following the steps we outlined here, we now have fully functional and maintainably tuft-free lights. Now all we have to do is figure out how to get Number Five out of our yard!
