Animals learn to adapt. They just make allowances for their human neighbors, especially since humans bring food-cats, dogs, chickens, sheep, goats, etc.
North of us, "as the crow flies", is a bunch of open area with a concrete plant and mines close by.....and to the NE there are a couple of wildlife refuges.....we are located on the fringes of civilization....which is E, S, and W from here.....
I dunno if ya "see things" my way much....but, we had a "jolly time" today with our "doins".....got the hung dead limb freed up and we were able to finish burning the pine tree top today.....I had a "special piece" of wood that had to get to the fire..... ....if ya can expand the pic look at the outter edge of the middle log....the carpenter ants were "boilinng out the holes and running around the sides....we having an ant slaughter underway.....
A whole lot of "environmental changes" are being made to the "status quo" that has been taking place here....between the palmetto bugs, spiders, ants, and skeeters.....we will not be "accomodating" any longer...........plenty more to cut, but some of this stuff I've been waiting to get to doing, for so long, it has felt good marking something off the "list" for sure....
That's awesome, ...it sure is a good feeling getting that "list" worked on
and killin pesty critters, that's the iceing on the cake. .....Great job you two.
You two are making great progress. I have reached the point that when I go out in the morning, I have no idea what I'm going to do until I start doing whatever it is. Mostly cutting trees since I don't have to do many hours of mowing recently.
