You are not allowed here...

I will be pulling you from your shallow roots and disposing of you, this is your only warning, tell your friends. Sand burr plants have sprouted and spread, this is the warning I give them, I believe I have removed them from our mowed area and have sprayed them in the ditches. As soon as the first frost appears they will disappear. I'm not looking forward to any frost, as we continue to check off "todo" jobs from our list.
Working on kennel gates leaves the dogs inside, but I am happy to report our front gates are built and set, 11" higher, rustic looking and blend in well with our cabin. The bubble on our level swims neatly to the middle for both.
One of the first tree's we planted, Babe, has grown a least 18" this year topping him off at least 20' high. It must be the hugs I freely give and visiting when I'm close. Babe is a seedless cottonwood and has outlived his 4 siblings. Bareroot tree's seem to work best for us, they hold to the ground beneath as the howling winds bend them, he is pretty sturdy.
We received a letter in the mail yesterday asking Bab's Bites 'n Bones to apply for a booth for the upcoming SD Governor's Conference of Tourism. When chosen, the conference is quite expensive for the 2-day run. A minimum of 500 whole and retailers come from across South Dakota. Other expenses would be limited since the conference is here in Pierre. Quite an honor. We worked on the app today, a little lightheaded. It's a good feeling.
Stay safe friends.
