I'm sitting on my front porch smoking a cigar, and it's 57 degrees and cloudy. The pond fountain is working and the birds are chirping and Obama's henchmen aren't driving down my road. It is a nice night.

It's sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and I just finished planting about a gazillion sunflower seeds. Some of them up to SIXTEEN feet!!! I love those flowers and I can't wait until I have hundreds of them filling my "yard" out behind the house.

First the birds will come, then the bigger birds, then the coyotes, then the snakes, and so on. Everybody is welcomed at my pad.

Cool! Get a .22 with a scope and shoot the coyotes.

Oh, and the crows, too. I hate crows.

Why would I kill the crows? They are a gardner/farmers best friend. Crows are mystic animals that give to the richness of the land and the Natives that lived before us.

They mate for life, keep their children at home, and use tools to forage for food that they craft out of sticks and twigs. They also hide their food for winter.

Crows have an extremely rich language including hundreds of clicks and croaks that they use for rallying family members.

A single family of crows can consume 40,000 grubs, caterpillars, army worms, and other insects in one nesting season. Twenty percent of the Eastern crow's diet consists of insects that are generally considered pests by gardeners and farmers. Though crows do eat corn, the grain does not make up a large percentage of their diet, and the amount of corn they consume is offset by the good they do for crops by eating damaging insects and larvae. (I had to look this part up)

Crows are excellent citizens of their ecosystem and should be revered for the job that they do.

Plinking off the wildlife on my land is not exactly my idea of sustainable habitat, and would serve no purpose.

As I said, all walks of life are welcomed to house. Just take out what you bring in, and share with everyone else in the work.

Two wild boars will wipe out your entire garden in one night.

Then you'll take the "welcome" sign down.

I like the Crowes Album with that naked lady on the front in a bikini. I guess she's not really naked then, but you get the point, right?

I've hopefully taken some good precautions to prevent intruders from filling up their bellies. I've planted lots of "collateral" vegetation which looks pretty and is expendable (lettuces, etc) near the woodlines to give them plenty to nibble on, and covered the rest of my yard in coyote pee pretty much. Them hippies even pee'd a few times too which was cool, so that might help. You can do your best, but in the end, it is their land, so we'll see. Failure just gives an opportunity to visit the farmer's market, and I have no issue supporting my neighbor's. 🙂

Camping was great. I work up really hot and decided tomorrow night to leave the fly off and hope it don't rain.
