We haven't seen any rabbits yet. Wouldn't mind seeing one in the evening, break out the air rifle with the suppressor and the scope, runs at about 1250 fps and should take out a rabbit for dinner.
A flock of white Muscovy ducks landed on the retention pond this afternoon. They're not native so they're free game. Unfortunately there were people walking around the pond. Dang!
We got a truck load of spoiled alfalfa many years ago for free and another truck load of spoiled plain grass hay. Big storm east of us and caught some truckers without cover. Friend of mine who was dealing with them had them come over to our old place with 10 acres and the unloaded on us. Stacked the bales around the big garden up to about eight feet tall and the tomatoes and peppers made fruit all winter. Gradually it all rotted away, pulled out the strings and scattered over a place we wanted to turn into a bean field. Had lots of beans and other veggies for several years.
Haven't seen any hay truck but once since then. Don't think we had any droughts for a long time either.
No rain today, maybe tomorrow. Gardens and other plants got so much water this past week we're having to fertilize again.
