Fluffy clouds above give the air of tranquillity while gopher war is waged below. These are flares you stick into the gopher hole.This week the gophers chewed off two zucinni plants at the farm.
This is me standing behind the tomatoes in Gilroy, notice the healthy zuccini. No gophers. 
The Poor Man's Orchids are going crazy in Gilroy. One of Mom's succulants is blooming
Every time I am up at the farm I work on the sprinklers to keep the fruit and vegetables coming. I went by the mushroom farm and got a truckload of compost to take up there.
Lots of rabbits and plenty of evidence of foxes around the farm.
On the way out we stopped at Grandma Chaney's house and found this bobcat out in the grass. The neighbor across the street says that a mountain lion was strolling up Meadow Song just last week. We noticed an absence of deer, I think they have left the area while the lion is around! We love sharing the area with the wild animals.
Looks like we will be busy with other things for the next two weekends. The next farm report will be three weeks from now. Do we live here and visit there of do we live there and visit/work here?
Love to all, Mom and Dad
