Fun In The Woods: Just in time for Halloween: Snakes and Spiders!
http://funinthewoods.blogspot.com/2010/10/just-in-time-for-halloween-snakes-and.html
Friday, October 1, 2010. Just in time for Halloween: Snakes and Spiders! It's been a while since we encountered snakes - - having cleared out 12" of leaves from around the house when we moved in two years ago, we've long since seen large ring neck or black snakes around. And it's been a little over a year since I nearly stepped on a smallish copperhead that was lounging just off our patio. To tell that the head isn't triangular and the pupils are round, not vertical slits. View my complete profile. Keebl...

Fun In The Woods: Rocky!
http://funinthewoods.blogspot.com/2011/03/rocky.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. The snakes were definitely cool. The umpteen types of multicolored mushrooms that sprang up overnight were very noteworthy. The salamanders, red efts, fence lizards - - all amazing. Even the copperhead and the black widow spiders were eye-opening from a "stand well away" perspective. But they all paled when compared with Rocky. Propping open the door, CEO gave a small shriek as - surprise! And then it got fun. The nest - surprise! Was NOT empty; instead it housed a number of tin...

Fun In The Woods: Playing with Fire
http://funinthewoods.blogspot.com/2010/12/playing-with-fire.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. Since joining the work-from-home labor force last year, I've discovered the delights of working in various places around the house: Bedroom, kitchen, living room, family room, back patio, etc. A good wireless connection and a pretty slick laptop make for a pretty productive combination, and the landscape outside makes a pretty nice window view in all directions.

Fun In The Woods: 17-year cicada wrapup
http://funinthewoods.blogspot.com/2013/08/17-year-cicada-wrapup.html
Monday, August 5, 2013. Cue: "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye. Observations on the 17-year emergence of the Brood 2 cicadas earlier this summer:. The holes: In the weeks prior to their surfacing, 1 cm holes start appearing everywhere. The impression I'm left with is one of a drunk groundskeeper who decided to pass out while running the core aerator around the bases of trees. The emergence: The first few days are characterized by "Cool! The humor: Brood 2 cicadas will never be lauded for their flight prec...
