Wetland

Have been doing some set aside ground maintenance, these areas need to be mowed to eliminate rogue trees and weeds. I drove up on this doe at an established wetland, looks like this   area is working. The flora and fauna diversity in this area is amazing, I need to get out the guide book but I know I saw bergamont, blacked eyed Susan, pale cone flower, various sedges, sunflower, many nativegrasses, compass plant and many more.

Owen is a busy guy

Owen stays busy. He has been learning to drive the mule, he just needs a little work on the brakes. Corn and tomato picking have been high on his task list. Trust me he is in the tomato patch if you look close.

Giant rags

These things must die.... It is a full time job trying to keep up.

Could you catch this guy?

Have you ever chased a guinea fowl? It is not simple. I caught a few with the help of rake in the background. Owen turned around and caught 2 when I was not looking, he has some pretty slick moves I guess. Fowl are now safe in their new permenant home.

Walkin beans

The crew stepped up to clear a few fields of seed beans. It went well despite the heat. Fields look good now and hopefully no red tags.

Feeding critters

Nice to have a helper when you can't reach the front of the wagon.
