Observations from Pearl's pool

[winds-of-change]

I haven’t seen any deer in a while. I dint know why. I just thought it was hot and they were laying low.

 

[Pearl]

You need me to send you some more cicadas? We got plenty!
They can completely fix those pesky quiet evenings.

I have plenty, but not too bad this year

They are all at my house

We see tons of deer on the golf course. Tuesday when we were playing Mama deer ran out in the middle of the fairway, and a few seconds later two little ones followed her. She suckled right in the middle of the fairway. The course is tucked back in the woods, so we see several every week.

Been seeing deer and turkeys pretty regular recently

We've been seeing a lot of deer this summer - more than usual.

Spring we had a deer plague which turned into a mouse/rat plague which has now transitioned into bears every where.

The new house will be interesting, I have no idea what lurks about. Once we have internet, I will program the BLINK cameras, then when I/we move, the rings will go active. Lori is scout on this mission, overwatch is 30 minutes out . Backup is closer, it will be OK.
Teddy will have in close overwatch, he knows his pack.

Pretty sure the guy next door will help, we will see. Mike and Andy can take care of business while i am enroute

Actual Armageddon is within 10 minutes . Both can bury a Body.

I don't know, it's my job to be worried 1/2 to death. Who knows what lurks in the soybean fields

 

[Heartbroken]

The soybean fields are full of death - the zombie kind. So GMOed and sprayed and tinkered with that even if they're not harvested, they will stand there and simply turn black without rotting. The soil is dead and the beans are zombies. I had to do some work in a field that shouldn't have been planted, (the wells for a community were there) and the farmer wasn't allowed to harvest. Those damned things just stood there for two years - maybe more now, I haven't been back - and never rotted. No weeds, no bugs, no life, just perfectly formed plants with beans in the pods that never rotted or opened or even fell over. It was truly creepy.
But, I doubt they are hiding anything that could pose a threat to your homestead, unless you try eating them.

Today there were turkeys and their chicks all over. Was on the road for four hours or so and it seems they were hanging out on the sides of the roads everywhere I went.

Not a hard winter. When things are easy on the deer and there’s plenty of food, twins or even triplets are more common. Too many deer around here. Now only if there were more good hunters…..

 

[Pearl]

It's been sooo hot that the grasshoppers hang out on the shady side of the fence posts to keep cool. There will be bunches of them lined up on the posts!!

 

[Magus]

My white power possum is back. he's not as smart as "Smokey" He takes crackers right out of my hand and knows not to get on the counter.

 

[Chesney Richardson]

The only critters I've been seeing are MeMe (a doe I raised from just a baby), and the possum that my half blind Siamese cat , Cocoa, thinks is another cat, oh and the trash panda that was knocking on my front door hehe

We've been seeing a lot of deer this summer - more than usual.

I saw the local herd of 5 in the spring. My husband saw a doe and it’s fawn a few weeks ago but I haven’t seen them grazing in our property or in the area for weeks now.

the trash panda that was knocking on my front door hehe

Forage around and Find out

 

[Chesney Richardson]

We saw a bear (or so the hubster says) running thru a field near the house, frankly I'm not sure if it was a bear or just a big dog or something it was waaaay down by a pond we could just barely see from the road

 

[Pearl]

Lots of birds in the birdbaths yesterday, probably will see a lot today too! Heading to the pool in a few. Won't see much else, too hot right now. It was amazing how 10° cooler, during the cold front, made such a difference for the animals! More deer and birds out and around.

 

[Patchouli]

I saw deer out at 1 P.M. today. Everything is so dry. Enjoy your view, Pearl

 

[Pearl]

This evening was AMAZING!! Four big bucks in the pasture to our east!! No fighting (yet), and many baby deer!! All going south to the spring fed tank. Many grasshoppers on the posts. Bluebirds were trying to bath in Bear's water bowls, he wouldn't allow it!! And the big show....the neighbor to our south (cows got taken, he doesn't live on the property), brought a new boyfriend!! They had an argument and the guy friend left! Yay! All in a day of the pool!;

 

[Pearl]

The fawns are losing their spots and becoming more independent of the moms!! There were five little deer that ventured to the spring fed stock tank together yesterday.

 

[Pearl]

A roadrunner is making a nest in an oak tree in the pasture to my south. Odd time of the year, unless it's going to really cool off!! I think she is a little off, there is no husband, they always build together! Two pair of scissor tails hanging around! A lot of deer, until the coyotes went off!!

 

[Pearl]

A little cool in the pool! 96° today, water temp 88°, north breeze! The deer were loving the cooler temps! I think the hummingbirds are getting ready to leave soon, there were so many today!!

 

[Caribou]

I have floor to ceiling windows in my bedroom. A doe and fawn came right up to the windows and grazed on the raspberry leaves for 15 or 20 minutes.

 

[Patchouli]

I saw a few fawns in the neighborhoods near my house last week, maybe 5 or 6. Surprised to still be seeing them this late in the season and too close to the road!

 

[Pearl]

Big buck day again today! Saw a few turkeys too!! The little bit cooler temps make a big difference!! Not related to the pool, but I just took Bear out, TWO OWLS!! One on his yard fence, and one on the carport!! Annie cat was hiding, no Baby Cakes to be seen, but Sammy was right at the door!! Eeeek!

 

[Bacpacker]

Wife has been seeing a doe with 2 fawns in our yard last few mornings

 

[Pearl]

Beautiful night tonight! May have been the last 'night pool ' night!! Blazing hot day. No wind and very warm tonight. Great clear sky! Awesome Milky Way, big glow to the east, DFW area! The city lights are far away, but really light up the eastern sky!! Tomorrow will be hotter, , but the last day of that, rain soon and cooler temps! It gets dark too early now!

 

[Patchouli]

Sounds lovely. I imagine you’ll be in it at night again. Cooler temps only in the 90s?
