MEANWHILE -- BACK AT THE -- ER -- FARM

We arrived here at 9:00 a.m. Lots of smoke in the air but we found no actual fire damage on our property -- or even visible from our southern boundary, which Chuck tells me is on Wheeler Canyon. Apparently we weren't really closely threatened. There were no fire breaks plowed around our fields. We didn't see any evidence of fire on Gilbert Grade either.

Sometimes we see interesting "nature" in town. This morning six mule deer doe hopped through the field above our house with a buck bringing up the rear. Quite the family!

We are not seeing so many hummingbirds here at the farm but a few stragglers remain. I figured they would be gone with the last feeding, but one buzzed Mike as he sat on the porch this morning. So, I made more nectar and filled the feeders. Now and then I go out and swat the yellow jackets away. KW
