Ooh, what's that? We have hardwood floors on our two flights and stained plywood on the flight to the basement. As we age, I'm more and more worried about slipping. We added carpet treads on one flight because our elderly dog (now deceased) kept slipping, but the others are bare.

Color pallette at local National Wildlife Refuge: native Joe Pye weed, purple loosestrife (pretty, but highly invasive), native goldenrod, non-native Queen Anne's lace, cattails.
@Bernard my hydrangeas also face east and have quadrupled in size since we moved in eight years ago.
Great blue heron at our National Wildlife Refuge yesterday 
@wtg is there a fountain? How do you keep mosquitoes away?
Chipmunk ate every single tomato. Thecomputerdude is furious.

Baby Mr. Bunn camouflaged himself in a pile of leaves near where he toppled yesterday and stayed there for hours. Not there today.
One must wonder if these thugs are intentionally trained to be abusive or if the job attracts those who are already that way. I hesitate to call them agents as they are not in uniform and don't follow the rule of law.
Oh I regularly see the adult...
Spectacular. The drought has taken its toll here.
But the hydrangeas are very blue (cuz I rake the fall leaves around it.)
Baby Mr. Bunn goes on hop-about
Saw two Monarchs over the weekend. They're here!
Every accusation is an admission
@Mary-Anna I have to assume you've seen this book https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/agatha-christie-poisons-book/
Yes we have a solar panel. The squirrels chewed through the cord on the first one and the company replaced it for free.
We just added a nijer feeder and the bird cam captured RATS last night. We will be taking down the feeders.
We get the avian kind. Again, I hear them all the time but never see them. (Sense a pattern?) We thought we were putting oranges out for them, but those seem to be for the squirrels instead.
Wow. Everybody should read this.
