Our first stop in town is often the Jack County Building Center. On this day, we picked up more fencing supplies and then headed to Little Frog Ranch.
It was a beautiful day!
I spent some time mowing the vehicle paths down using the ride-on lawn mower. It was surprisingly enjoyable! Next time I plan to bring earbuds so I can listen to music while I mow. I learned a valuable lesson though: be sure to check the gas gauge. That's why I had to leave the mower and walk back to the storage container. Good thing we had extra gas around! I also saw my first live snake on the Ranch! He slithered in front of the mower's path trying to get away. So I got out of that area quickly!
Deer prints!! I haven't seen any deer yet, but we were very excited to see deer prints around the pond!
The pond is very low right now. With some good rain, it'll fill up and be nice and blue again. Eventually we'll dig a well and run a water line to the pond to keep enough water in it for the animals to come. For now, we need some good boots and gloves to pull some of the dead brush out to clean up the pond a little. We have to leave some brush in the pond for the frogs! I didn't see any today though.
Still no barbed wire up yet.... coming soon!
