Spring Spruce Up - 2026

 7 bags of mulch factoring in Barbara and tree in back.  Got at Hy-Vee "Red".

Leftover Pumpkins - 2025

Annual pumpkin and gourd disposal.  Interesting to watch the snow come in.

Sleepy Barred Owl

Resting for a hopefully busy night.  Owl was about 10 feet off the ground.  They are not easily rattled or spooked.  I walked underneath one on a power line a few nights ago walking Kyanne and it just watched me go by.

Same pic closer...

Rut 2-3-4

 Four pictures.  Different days and times during the rut.

Owl Be Here for A While

 I was on the front sidewalk and movement caught my eye.  Captured this from the back bedroom window.  Setting up shop for the evening.
