So a peaceful day today!! No bad dogs! Two were caught on camera killing goats, owners surrendered them to avoid prosecution! Others are supposed to be penned! Many birds as always, only one nest of Wrens left under the pool rail! The deer were all back enjoying the pasture behind us (no dogs)!! Peace in my valley tonight!!

 

[Patchouli]

I'm sure that is a great relief for the valley.
I put corn on the cob out in the yard and next morning one was near the birdbath, it had been washed and partly eaten.
Next morning, there was a bunch of corn in the birdbath, quite a mess, and the other ears (half ears) lying about. Cracks me up, raccoons ya think?

Opossums like those!!

 

[Patchouli]

I didn’t think opossums washed their food but wondered if it was them. The bird bath doesn’t sit on a pedestal.

Opossum Paul eats the whole cob! I'm betting you had a raccoon!

Yesterday was interesting! There were a few tiny pop up showers in the area, beautiful clouds! Showers developed to my north and moved southwest, I watched sheets of rain in the distance. Then a t-storm developed to my east and passed just to my south. It all came together as one mass of heavy rain to my west, southwest! Will be on weather patrol/observation again today!!

 

[teeceetx]

Wish it would rain here! Been weeks ... humid, hotter than hell. We have to hand water the lawn every other day.

 

[Pearl]

I'm observing NOT mowing !! I don't water, I don't want to mow!! Buddy's pasture grass is going dormant (like it should)! Many deer are taking their rapidly growing kids to the watering holes!! SUMMER, loving it!!

 

[Pearl]

This is a yard observation: Angie the deer had a baby two days ago! She is an old deer, hasn't had a kid in two years, now this late one! I only caught a glimpse of it yesterday, but Angie is hanging close. I'm making sure she has food and water!

 

[Pearl]

Going out to observe nature! Almost time for many bluebirds to hit the big bird bath! There will be about 25 and they take turns in small groups!! Water goes everywhere! Then they sit on the fence and preen!!

 

[LadyLocust]

We don’t have bluebirds here which is odd since we have so many other birds. We had a couple little yellow birds up the mountain- like bluebirds but yellow. Also had stellar jays. They could be noisy but I liked them. We do have quite a few hummingbirds right now filling their little tanks before heading south. I pull the feeders about the end of the month.

 

[elkhound]

@LadyLocust stellars jay is one of my favorite birds !

 

[Pearl]

I'm seeing a lot of hummingbirds!! Going to put feeders back up next week!! I still have Sage blooming, but not for long!! They'll want more!!

 

[Pearl]

They almost full moon has drawn me to night pool! It was so beautiful and quiet last night! Was out by 10pm, but it's amazing how much you can see by moonlight! Hubby didn't join me, he had been in earlier and messed around in his shop instead. Going to throw Bud some more hay and then watch the birds for a bit! Planning on an hour of float time tonight too!!

Man I pop in and out so much I lose the line of these threads and get lost.

Sounds like a great way to let your mind clear and find the center @Pearl .

Have a good float and rest.

.... Well, I don't have a pool... I guess that explains a lot.

Years ago I used to hike up on the mountain behind us and sit on an old stump, just to watch things going on and maybe see a deer once and a while, one time a jays came gliding down the mountain at amazing speed, I had to duck thinking I might get hit by someone throwing rocks or something as the sound of the wind going through their wings was loud. As I sat on the stump observing, I found that the jays were picking acorns and dropping them on the boulders to break them open. I haven't hiked up on the mountains like I used to, mainly due to getting older, but also there is a lot of mountain lions the have moved into those areas and unlike bear, they are extremely stealthy, I probably wouldn't hear them coming for me.

^^^ Should have had an Umbrella...?!?

 

[Pearl]

Nice moonlight tonight!! Very tranquil! Came in and made a big dinner!! I love the quiet! Only heard owls answer coyotes!!

 

[Patchouli]

I saw a hummingbird late yesterday. Sat on the electric line that runs over the backyard. I think there were others around too, @Pearl I have seen bluebirds off and on all summer.
@Supervisor42 was kiddin' ya. you wouldn't be sane even if you did have a pool.

 

[teeceetx]

Love this song ... for some reason.

 

[Pearl]

BEAUTIFUL MOON tonight, last night and the next couple of nights!! Cats hung out on the deck, Bear wanted inside about 9:15, so in he went!! A LOT OF BATS, no mosquitoes!!
