Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
Here we are at 1 a.m. and some on July 5th and we're still plagued by noise.
Franklin and Penelope did not enjoy the weekend because of this
and this
We expect Tropical Storm Elsa mid-week, and we already have this
At least the frogs are happy.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
Sadly I couldn't watch either video - it said they were private.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that all of you had a ruff weekend.
And hope you can stay safe.
Thank you for letting me know. I'll correct that.
DeleteI'm sorry about that EC. I believe I've corrected the problem.
DeleteYou did fix it. Thank you. Poor Franklin and Penelope.
DeletePoor Franklin and Penelope. Glad the fireworks are done. You should stock that pond with Koi! (Although it may be stocked with gators before the week is out.)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the fireworks will continue for a few days or even a week any time it's not raining. People here love their fireworks. If I ever see an alligator in my yard, you'll be able to hear me scream in Spain.
DeleteIf they were to ban fireworks it sure wouldn't bother me.
ReplyDeleteI'd celebrate the banning by whispering "yay." I value the quiet.
DeletePoor babies. I can only imagine the stress it causes them. I hope things settle down soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's very hard on them.
DeleteGlad your kids survived the din.
ReplyDeleteFireworks used to bother Ozzo, but as he gets older his hearing gets worse and last night he scarcely noticed the racket.
Of the cats, only MaxGoldberg hates the noise, but he just goes to bed.
I, too, await the storm mid-week.
*sigh* I don't want a visit from Elsa. Franklin's hearing has diminished, but he still hears storms and fireworks.
DeleteDear oh dear, those poor dogs! Not an easy time.
ReplyDeleteWe are tired.
DeleteThat is a LOT of water in your yard, Janie. Do you worry about crocagators showing up? The frogs reminded me of sheep baa-ing, very different from any frogs I've heard before. I hope the fireworks peter out and never return. Poor pups - it's hard on them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen an alligator here, but that doesn't mean they aren't around so, yes, I fear the thought of them showing up. I hope they wouldn't be able to get under the fence, and although the water is deep, it isn't deep enough for them to swim over the six-feet of fence. The frogs make a variety of comments. One night I heard them say, Pearl Pearl Pearl. I didn't know if they were looking for someone named Pearl or a piece of jewelry. They tend to be very chatty in the middle of the night.
DeletePearl - ha ha The frogs hereabouts only have two words, peep-peep and groink :)
DeleteFlorida frogs have a lot to say. Sometimes they curse! *gasp*
Delete:D
DeleteSo sad that Franklin & Pebelope don't like fireworks but many dogs don't
ReplyDeleteMost dogs are disturbed by loud noises.
DeleteI definitely prefer the croaking of the frogs:)
ReplyDeletePenny spent her weekend cowering under the desk.
Poor Penny.
DeleteIt was constant firebombs at the end of my street. At 11 the police said Don't make us come back again, and they didn't.
ReplyDeleteThe police here don't do anything.
DeleteI hope your doggies are better now. My poor doggie hates them as well and has gone down to the basement shivering in fear over the dumb fireworks. That is a lot of water in your yard. I take there is no way to make a small trench to lead the water away fro. Your yard? I hope Elsa doesn’t wreck too much damage.
ReplyDeleteAll I can do is run a pump and send the water to the street through a hose. I've inquired about a drainage system but there isn't a place to put one because of the concrete on one side of the house and a very large tree stump on the other side.
DeletePoor babies! Given the risks of fireworks, I wish we just had public displays-safer, better for everybody.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in fire-prone areas.
DeleteYour backyard sounds like mine does!
ReplyDeleteIt gets so loud here that it sounds as if the frogs are in the house.
DeleteOne of my cats really didn't appreciate the booming rockets blaring. Two others gave me a look and went back to sleep
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that a couple of someones weren't disturbed.
DeleteThis was the first year I gave my dog trazadone for her anxiety.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should check on getting something for the dogs before New Year's Eve.
