May 2015 Activity
Week 18 All is stable and quiet this week.
Week 19 Rain, rain, not much volume, but everyday is rainy. Good for the soil to get some deep-down moisture built up for a change.
Deer have been scarce at dusk and early morning, but tracks prove they are on the prowl all night long. Many spots in the long grass where they have bedded down for the night.
We will begin to work on the areas of excessive cactus growth, with the tractor, as soon as the ground dries out a bit.
Quail calls still prevalent in all directions from the house.
Week 20 More rain, all is quiet
Week 21 More rain, ground wet. Mowed track through the center of the south side to provide a place to walk--the needle grass is just too tough to walk through.
Hauled two front end loaders full of brush to brushpile no. 2. One of the loads was from uprooted prickly pear cactus that was growing too thickly in one area.
Quail still here. Wrens have fledged.
We had to electric fence the Mexican Plum tree to keep the deer from browsing the terminal buds. Most often, we see just three does. We have not seen any fawns yet.
