Deer and a fallen Robin

Mid June and it's Dry, Dry, Dry

June 18th 2020 and it is hot! Supposed to be right around 90 degrees the next 4-5 days. They are starting to talk drought, really? my grass has been brown for weeks.  The dogs are still digging holes here and there to try to expose the cool soil below, but there is no cool soil below, the soil is bone dry even 6" down. Maybe some rain coming our way next Monday-Thursday next week, let's hope. We'll be keeping a close watch on this to ensure our well doesn't go dry, if this continues we may have to sacrifice the vegetable garden.
 

No fawn pics yet, we have 3 deer coming in every evening to the deer-yard.  Rose thinks all 3 have fawns parked out along the borders of the field, time will tell. I need to pull the trail cam and replace the batteries.

This Whitetail doe came in last night at 7pm, early enough to avoid the rush that arrives at later in the evening. 

Robin - This wayward guy (Robin chick) was under the maple trees Wednesday morning, sitting in one of the holes the dogs dug.  He must have fallen out of the nest above that we couldn't reach even with a ladder. Luckily for him the dogs couldn't figure out what he was, and we're standing over him smelling him/ her when Rose suspected something wasn't right, she scooped him up, I assembled s bird cage and we're now the proud caretakers of a Robin chick that eats every 30-45 minutes.

We went to the hardware store to buy some worms to feed it and they had no worms available, all they had were Dillies and night-crawlers so we got the Dillies. He/she is eating 3-4 worms every 45 minutes to an hour now so the dillies being larger than worms are working out for us.

The little guy survived the night, when I removed the cover we put over his cage at 7AM  he opened his eyes and woke up, I was hoping he wouldn't be an early bird like some around here that start chirping at 5:00AM in the morning.

 

Stay Cool Folks!
