There has not been a lot of wildlife here, but there has been quite a variety. One gopher poked his head out of the ground near the road. We had to hold Sam back as a small colony of prairie dogs tormented him along our walk. We have heard a pack of coyotes yipping, barking and howling just about every evening. A couple of woodpeckers have been playing around the tree outside our window and I saw a young hawk. Of course, the deer are pretty friendly - once again this deer invaded our tranquility. What nerve!
I guess it is pretty cute and he doesn't eat much. I suppose he can visit anytime.
The previous lot owner decorated the place with a collection of birdhouses mounted high on bare logs. I am not sure if some of them are actual snags or if they all are fallen trees that he set into holes in the ground (most likely), but I like the concept. Joani caught the moon rising over these two.
I guess we could be described as "crazy", but it has been a long time since we had a chance to do any yard work. This lot was just screaming for some attention, so Joani and I spent a couple of hours yesterday pulling weeds in the front flower bed. It was silly to think we could make much of a difference but the neighbors were nice enough to notice and compliment our efforts. I'm not going to include a picture because you really could not see that we had made any difference (since I had no "before" picture for reference).
