One nice thing about all this is the grass has stopped growing, it's getting expensive mowing now with the price of gas. I filled the pickup when in Dryden yesterday and cost $107 and there was still over a quarter of a tank in it before filling it..

Could it be that the Winters are so long and cold and the grubs don't survive.

Patty can't stand June bugs. LOL

The Japanese beetles have returned again this year. I don't think there is anything that they don't eat.
