TY for the responses!
As far as I know, Mom's been leaving her front yard totally up to me (since I asked her to,) which means no chems of any kind allowed. But she does have a pest service. IDK what they do, or where. Sure doesn't stop the neighbors' cat from coming over to hunt birds, but that kind of pestilence prob isn't in the agreement. ;)
Larry, I agree. I'd love to if the rain will ever stop! I thought I knew its' destination until seeing that weird branch yesterday. Will let this percolate until Wed., when it's moving somewhere (weather depending...) Pent up errands demand tomorrows' promised NON rainy weather.
