The Entertainment was Hay This Morning.

The little guy is most likely a Steer, he may have been looking at that Bull across the pasture dreaming of what may have been. While the Cows see him as well; most likely saying to one another "I sure hope he doesn't come over here."

I Didn’t Expect this First Thing in the Morning.

It's good to be able to return to my old rut regimen for that past two days, a weather change is happening; winter is not far off. The Turkey Vultures were out before daybreak normally that spot is reserved for the Night Herons;

Out Before Daybreak; Ambush The Hummingbirds!

I had it all planned, rise early, grab coffee, camera and Skunkpuppy then take hundreds of photos of Hummingbirds. Unfortunately the birds did not get the memo.

Nothing Much Shakin’ on the Slough.

This morning I spied a large bird on one of the Power Structures, it was too far away to identify but it was the size and shape of a large predator. It may have been an Eagle although they are not common inland as they mostly occupy the Coast; perhaps it will show again tomorrow, it's curious how these things happen.

A Few Clear Days; Another Fire.

Everyone in the family with the exception of the mid-northerners and New Yorkers are dealing with heavy smoke. Even Colorado, my daughter is socked in by the 3rd largest wildfire in Colorado history. If we're not careful this could get serious real quick.

Everything Looks So Far Away; Since the Smoke Cleared.

The fires nearest here are 98% contained, at this juncture it means they are out and some of the crew stays behind to take care of hot spots. I hope there are no more.

Raising Earthworms Makes Sense For Gardeners.

A few precautions should not deter anyone's interest in the ecologically positive activity, my opinion is everyone should have at least one Colony. With a minimum of protection Vermiculture is safe, each of us develops during the learning curve the level we need to remain safe. Starting small assisted with research a size-able Colony can be realized within the first year.

I Planted a Peach Pit; I Grew a Peach Tree.

In it's fourth year the new Peach Tree had over 100 Peaches hanging from the limbs. Thinning will be performed in earnest next year to improve the size of the fruit.

The Heat is Hard on the Garden.

The wildfires are burning enhanced by the high ambient temperatures. The heat dries the garden beds quickly to the detriment of some plants, my Crenshaw melons are now a statistic.

Video; That’s odd, Why is the Owl out during the daylight?

This Owl is either very young or very old he obviously doesn't realize it's daytime.
