Our gate is now completely moved to our property line. Art is starting to build retaining walls for the steep hillside on both sides of the gate. We have a bunch of rock and a come along. Plus Art is doing some concrete and mortar treatments. Probably take another week as we have more rain coming tomorrow. These once a week rains should keep the wild flowers coming. It is always nice to rains come back after a drought summer or what they call non-soon.
We have also started to spot the first migratory birds: vultures. They congregate each spring in this area and ride the wind currents of the mountains daily. One or two at first, and slowly gain numbers up to 15. I assume it is part of mating rituals. We are still waiting for orioles, buntings, tanagers and rufous hummingbirds. ... Any day now.
