Yard Work

Dylan and I are not really known for keeping very good care of our yard. We do the mowing and weed whipping but the trimming of the branches and the weeding of the flower beds and the garden usually do not happen! So this year we (mostly me) decided to get it up to par! We started by trimming down the dead branches and the ones that were touching the ground. This made a huge difference! It was incredible to see how much that helped. We are still not finished but I promise to add pictures once things are done! Here are some pictures from cutting down the trees in the back!


Voles seem to be very popular around our area this year and both the cat and the dog have been enjoying them! I was working outside raking up some dead grass and one ran right in front of me. They are not very fast so I grabbed it and gave it to the cat. He played with it for a bit before it ended up to be his lunch!
This is one of the many nests that Spencer found! These ones were in an old Woodpecker hole that was about waist high. There were four little ones in total. Over the next few weeks I watched them grow. I was amazed at how fast they grew.
