We got almost five inches of rain last week, and this was the result over in the pond on the land. I hope we get lots of rain this year for a lot of reasons, but top of my list is the burning desire to see this pond filled up. I will have to keep an eye on it.
Another bonus today was that in some of the young oaks around the pond, there was a big covey of Quail...first I have seen over there. Usually I see lots of dove, turkey, turkey vultures and rabbits. Today there were two does as well. Luckily I missed the big buck, but we could see some very big tracks.
The Spriets came over and helped me pick up a lot of the cans and bottles that I have been finding. It is a good thing I am keep garbage bags in the back of the car. I didn't see any new debris which is a good thing.
The other exciting item today was a three foot long garter snake right at the gate. Seems sort of late in the year and a bit chilly for a snake to be out like that. It was moving very slowly.
