12. I, too, see wild turkeys. Pheasants. Hawks. Deer. Rabbits. Chipmunks.

The occasional fox, geese, ducks, crows, and a variety of song birds. I hear the frogs at night.

[wildhorses]

15. damn dude, are you in my neck of the woods?

i got a woodpecker, too and DON'T take that the wrong way!!

i kinda like to hear the drum section:P


edited cos my typing sucks as bad as my grammar

[Rabrrrrrr]

86. No, not at all. Not a southerner by any stretch of the imagination.

And oddly enough, I live in a city - but I'm on the edge of a little marshland and rain drainage area. My yard is like a mini-zoo habitat area in the midst of urbanness. It's cool.

No woodpecker here at home, but we did have one on the office's property last year that I heard a lot. I'm curious if he'll come back this year.

[Deja Q]

13. People walking, driving, and fondling each other.

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

16. PDA's huh?

:hi:

[texas1928]

14. I see weeds, and them DAMN Grackles. Noisy Fucking birds.

I hate them.


The weeds are being taken care of this weekend. The grackles... If I had a BB gun. I would show them. *Shakes fist in the air*

[wildhorses]

21. why i oughta ---

:rofl:

i think you need a hug:hug:

:hi:

[femmocrat]

63. Grackles are one of the first birds of spring here in PA.

I thought they were migratory. Maybe they are just moving through your area?

[texas1928]

73. No, they are here... YEAR ROUND!!!!!!!!

AND THEY ARE BREEDING RIGHT NOW!!!!!! SO THEY MAKE MORE RACKET THAN THEY NORMALLY DO!!!!!!!!!

[LeftyMom]

17. The woodpile, the fence and an old kitchen sink I need to drive to the dump.

An 8' foot tall tree that started out as a tiny seedling I got at the state fair as a kid, the kiddie pool and my tomatoes and peppers.

[wildhorses]

27. how are your tomatoes and peppers doing?

and you know we love pix around here....

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

29. The tomatoes and corn are looking great.

The peppers seem healthy enough, but they haven't grown nearly as much. I'm thinking I'll get them some sort of fertilizer today.

The gardenia I put in in the front yard is growing like crazy and in bloom.

[wildhorses]

31. nice. what kind of fertilizer?

like miracle-grow?

that is what i use on my flowers.

[LeftyMom]

65. I'm going to go see what they've got when it cools off a bit.

I'd prefer something natural. Bibaby mentioned something about a seaweed based product. I might look for that.

[wildhorses]

77. seaweed based ---

let me know what it is, okay?

[Louis Cipher]

19. I was gonna say a bear.

He's busy watering the garden as well as himself.

[texas1928]

So you can play in the water. Sheesh...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

96. Of course...

Did I say it was not a good thing?

[wildhorses]

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

36. Saturday night

2 of the four bull calves broke down the gate and got into the pasture. And one of them charged the fence and got through. I saw him running through the field behind my house.

Until the landlord and her kids got here, I was trying to keep him from bolting across the road and getting himself or someone else killed.

woe, the responsibilities.

[Gormy Cuss]

40. Hey everybody! Wild Turkey at wildhorses' place tonight! Woo Hoo!

Wasn't that what you meant?:shrug:

We have at least one resident pair of CA quails each year. Some years we see their babies -- tiny little brown dust balls following them. We've had a few wild turkeys wander into the yard but never with babies.

The night time is full of skunks and raccoons and hunting domestic cats. The deer only visit the front yard because they can't be bothered to jump our fence.

[wildhorses]

43. gobble gobble --- bwahahaha

:rofl:

cool. you should post some pix;)
