Coyotes are back in the area ... at least 3. One big one keeps showing up on our trail cam at the food plot. I am sort of surprised the fox is still around - they usually vanish if we have coyotes in the area. I won’t be going to the back fields without taking a little ‘peace of mind’ with me.
When I mowed this afternoon, I was totally shocked at how many maple leaves have fallen already. The trees are still very full of leaves, no bare spots yet, so that’s deceiving. I now have huge piles rounded up against the base of 3 maple trees. As soon as we’re clear of company (after tomorrow), I am going to have to construct my new compost pile and start raking/hauling. Last year, I didn’t keep up & it was a real pain getting that many leaves in the compost pile. The new compost area will be bigger for easier access & that extra space will also give me the ability to turn the pile & speed up decomp.
Leaf compost is the best stuff. I’ll be doing some raking soon enough, too! :)
Nice to hear about the Fox - we have them around once in a great while. Coyotes? Almost always, but they don’t come near the house due to all the dogs we have. They put on some beautiful ‘concerts’ but I’m not sure why they need to do it at 2am! ;)
