House glee
Is it okay to be stupidly happy that I own a waterfall?
It's a bit hard to tell from this shot, but the waterfall is about 5 feet high. From there, it goes cascading down a series of smaller drops for another 30 feet or so to the bottom of the gully. After a rain, we can hear the waterfall from the house for a couple of days.
With the leaves gone from the trees, I can look out the window from my computer chair and see the pond.
We have so many birds coming to the feeders now, too, it's amazing. We have several species that we didn't see very often at the Stanley street house... crows, bluejays, geese, red-shouldered hawks. I hear things singing that I don't recognize. I counted 14 squirrels in the backyard Wednesday evening.
We purchased some hens for the chicken flock and found a home for our unwanted roosters. We still have to catch three of them, though. Here's Kate trying to trap a rooster last week. The new hens are a mix of barred rocks and auracanas. We have them penned in the henhouse, so hopefully they will continue to roost there after we turn them loose to roam.
