here are some old blogs I adding just now.
OK so today, July 5th, 2015, I saw a snake that was not a rattlesnake. It was green and going between the pump shed and the solar panels.

Then we saw a Tarantula that tried to come to our dinner and went to watch the car and walk away to the propane tank.

Finally we saw a bat flying by the house at dusk.

I also almost missed talking about the turtle that we found and brought home, built a house in a nice stone pen . But it ran away as soon as we turned our backs.

We saw and heard a barn owl flying out of the box in the vineyard.

Marcella saw earlier a centipede, a big colorful one.

Quite lively around here.
