Week 6
Mowed some of the grass to knock down the high dead stuff and clear the way for new growth in the spring. Removed two very large cactus and put on the brush pile.
The deer are getting to be a menace up around the house in spite of feeding and watering 100yards away.
Week 7
Big, perhaps 20, turkeys wandered through the back side of the property. Two males present.
Sufficient rain, but not a lot.
Week 8
Finished mowing for the winter, but still have a few cactus to take out.
Inspected the brush pile. It seems to be compacting more than it should in order to provide a good refuge for small animals.
Still, no evidence of mice in the area at all, such a change from a year ago. No mice, no owls.
Week 9
Bought a new bag of sunflower seeds. It appears that the gang of cardinals are much smaller this year. Maybe they found something better.
Table scraps to the deer yard.
We went through a real lapse in hog damage, but now, this week, there has been a lot of uprooting in the south side of the property. Perhaps twenty holes now need to be refilled.
Weather okay, no additional water needed.
