We had a few storms come through this week. According to our rain gauge we had around .9 inches of rain this week. We even had some lighter rain which is good because it doesn’t all run off down our road.
The prior owners had a bird feeder and a platform for a quail block. This week I finally put food there to see if we could attract any birds.
