Meadow Garden Update

I don't know what these are, but here are some better photos of the wildflowers in the meadow garden.

Meadow Garden

For several years now, I have wanted to let wildflowers grow in the spring in a certain reserved part of the yard. This goes along with several other moods of thought that have welled up in adulthood, such as looking forward to, and enjoying, mowing the yard, and keeping tabs on the rainfall amounts. In any case, I did get some wildflower seeds as a gift last year, and last fall I planted them after scalping the grass with the mower. There wasn't much to do after that, except resist all temptation to mow over there once the mowing season began. We have been lucky to have gotten plenty of rain already this year (enough to have flooded the septic tank, something that only happened for the first time in our third year in this house). There are some wildflowers, but not as many as I hoped for (of course), and no Bluebonnets (even though some were supposedly in the mix). But, I'm happy with it.

New Hatsan Gun

I got a Hatsan gun for Christmas, but have only put less than 30 rounds through it since then. I've just been too busy. Luckily I've grown up enough to be patient about things like this, and today I spent some quality time with the gun. Photographed is the gun and a group I shot at 60 feet (20 yards). I used the bipod for this group. I found as I was warming up that my groups were not nearly as good shooting with the artillery hold (without the bipod, of course). The gun is a 0.25 caliber and has a gas-spring power plant. How powerful is it? I could have logged more detailed information on it's power, but I did notice that it will shoot cleanly through a stack of about 40-50 sheets of tightly packed copier paper at 30 feet.
