The birds.....

are busy busy... collecting and gathering for nests and babies.... my one bullrush stalk has been well used... maybe next year i'll have 2 stalks :D...
i've been hearing a pheasant in the field... and thanks to Dora's alert ears and pointing habits.. i can see him... he's eating bugs over by levi's dirt track... so dora and sampson are resigned to being indoor puppies... at least until our pheasant friend wanders elsewhere...

woohoo.... i just spotted his mate!!! am excited... a breeding pair of pheasants would be awesome... unfortunately our hunter friends think they are good eating... personally eating something that doesn't have a lot of meat on it.. just doesn't cut it!! actually eating something that wandered in my field doesn't quite do it either... i'd rather see them wandering in the field, eating up the bugs that are going to dine on my garden :D
they seem to like levi's dirt track.. must be good bug hunting....




got my choi plants all transplanted.. choi as in bok, sui and other closely related ones... they come in a 6 pack, 3 different varieties... i'm needed some more swiss chard too... will check out my leftover seeds... the weather is cooler than normal, so am in no hurry atm.... all my 'babies' are covered and hopefully won't go into shock...

still a sick kid at home... yesterday we made a fairy... she will hang in Bubbles the car... :D
