     i'm not quite understanding this post of yours.  i may be   
   too tired...  :)   
      
     today i ended up going outside to weed having decided to   
   hold off on planting until the next break in the weather.   
   the garden i weeded has needed it done for a month or more   
   and i just wasn't able to get out there so now it is done   
   and the rains have come along to give all the gardens some   
   water.   
      
     i only thought it was going to take me a few hours to   
   weed, but it was such a nice day that i took my time and   
   enjoyed myself completely and it took almost four hours   
   and then i did a few other things in other gardens like   
   picking some strawberries, weeding out some bedstraw and   
   burying some banana peels and other veggie scraps.   
      
      
     then after resting a bit i had to go bury another chipmunk   
   which was caught in a rat trap using a little peanut butter   
   and a raisin.  i've gotten my money's worth out of that   
   raisin as it is the fifth chipmunk i caught with it.  i   
   did reset the trap but now that it is raining it might   
   melt away or the trap might get ruined.  my brother bought   
   us some bucket top flip traps to use for the chipmunks but   
   so far they have only caught one.  when we get overrun with   
   chipmunks it can get pretty crazy around here.  one year   
   i caught over 50 of them in a few weeks.  so this year is   
   quite tame in comparison to that.  the flip traps will also   
   work for mice so i'm hoping to get them reset and reloaded   
   with bait in some new locations where mice are known to   
   run.  now that they're getting rained on and have aired   
   out for a few days i think they will only gain in effective-   
   ness...
