CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[Baymule]

The oak trees here are tassled with blooms. The pine trees have their funny brown blooms that always look like a catapillar to me. The pollen settles on everything and when it rains, we get yellow puddles. Allergies go haywire, but it doesn't faze me. I feel sorry for people who have bad allergies, it is a tough thing to deal with. Give Joyce a hug and tell her I'm thinking about her.

I was not aware that crawfish lived out of the water and certainly would never have thought they would live underground!

 

[Baymule]

Crawfish build mud mounds too. The mounds are hard on hay mowing equipment. The best way to get rid of them is with ducks.

How far are they from water? Do they only do this in fairly wet ground?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[CntryBoy777]

They stay out in the fields all year round. They are active when the weather warms and the Spring rains come. They will build their towers in the lower spots where it holds the water the longest, and build the tower above anticipated water levels. They mainly forage at nite and in wet weather. They do draw coon, and are eaten by some birds too. They can be fun to mow over the first time or two each year...

@Baymule the pine is, but the oak hasn't gotten there yet, tho they are pushing the blooms out along with swelling leaf buds. Oak really causes the most problems for Joyce, and she has been in "Brain Fog" for a couple of wks now. She said thanks for the Hug and hopes your DH is doing well also.

Thanks for the kind words. We have only been at this for 2yrs now, and have come a long way for us....but, have so much further to go. We are retired and not the greatest of health, but it gives us something to do...instead of going stir-crazy here. We are hoping to expand some this time next yr, but once the fence is finished, I will try to fine-tune some things I rushed thru to get things usable as soon as I could.

We have something in common we have only been in our place 2 years as well. I am retired but my other half still works so it takes a bit. Here is a little tour of our place. Still a work in progress.

Thanks for the nice tour @Gorman Farm
