The worms are doing Water Ballet

Q:Michigan has more coast line than any other state, or so they say I have not taken my 12' tape measure to verify. It has been raining for the past 24 hours and really coming down pretty hard. The ground is getting saturated and the worms are swiming along in the high grass. Of course the ducks, geese and birds are enjoying the buffet. Nothing like fresh worm on a bed of wet grass.
My major pond has a runoff head drain I installed a few years ago to control the level , especially during heavy rain season. You can hear the roar of water rushing down the 10" pipe 24 hours a day. The pond is fed by two large underground springs. When I first installed the head drain it took 3 months to lower the pond 6 inches with the pipe pulling a full 10" of water off 24/7.
Our first Crane arrived today. They stop in here for the summer and hunt frogs and fish. We have about 6 regulars that have been coming here for 5 years now.
Our dogs love all the fresh arrivals each year since it gives them a chance to exercise their best intruder barks and growls.
Our 6 pound poodle tried to scare off a male peacock today and the bird finally got tired of all the yapping. Peacock outisde-poodle inside - glass door between them. Peacock pecked on the glass after he had had enough from the poodle. Poor little poodle is suffering from peacock intimidation. She has never had anything talk back to her. She is going into therapy next week to rebuild her shattered confidence and ego...LOL
She is curled up on my lap at the moment.
There are times in life when a daughter needs her Dad.
Life is never dull around here.
