Well if you don't go anywhere, you normally don't see anything. That was true today. I put seeds in the garden with the hope they'll grow. Heres hoping. You must check yourself for TICKS after working outside. I pulled 1 off my self today and 5 in the past week. We never had these annoying inects which can cause all kinds of bad health problems if you don't catch'em.

Yesterday I fixed fence for my buddy Jim out is out of commission for about 1-2 months. Seems that snowmobilers cut his fence on the hydro line so they could trespass on his small lake. This fence was up so his 3 horses wouldn't get loose into other yards and cause damage. We are working on a way way to stop them permentally from trespassing. As he is in the city shooting them is out of the question. Out here in the country every 6 or 7 farms have a backhoe to bury trespassers. Just kidding. But then again, who is telling.

Don't mess with the farmer as he puts food on your table.

I did see a pelated woodpecker on Townline Road as well as geese, a rabbit in the bush who is totally brown and a few geese on the kaministiquia River which has risen due to some rain. Still way down.
