Why do we call it the pasture? Because this used to be a farm, and pigs, chickens and cattle use to roam there. :-)
I like watching the egrets, even when they don't come in the yard. There has been quite the convention across the bayou. They don't stay there long; but I have seen them, in bigger numbers, 2 or 3 times now this year. Don't remember seeing them like that before, but I could have missed them.
Sorry about the quality. My phone doesn't zoom real well. I'll try to take our real camera out sometime.
I tried to get a few pictures to show how muddy it still was, but for some reason I didn't want to take pictures of all the new ruts. Ha! (Many of which were made by hubby when he insisted on mowing with the tractor thirty minutes or less after the rain stopped.) Now to be fair, I made ruts, too, but not as deep because I use a riding mower. ;-)
In the last two pictures, the real shiny spots are caused by standing water, and the grayish spots (a little shadier) are also from standing water. Going to be a washboard out there the next time we mow. UGH!
By the time we are finished with the whole yard, it will be time to mow again. And I still have to run the sweeper to pick up all the cut grass. Busy busy.
You all be safe. God bless.
