Katie, Randy, and Jason made a quick trip up to the ranch on September 9th. The weather was warm and comfortable, just hot enough to jump in the lake. The irrigation system around the green zone is working well, and we did water all around the outer areas of the fenced area. The apples on the hill are almost ready for harvest--this is the same tree Ingrid and Sophia pruned in May.
The carpenter bees were under control (we did not see or hear them), and the bats seemed quiet, too. We did see a large jackrabbit by the WC, and he quickly ran away to the woodshed area. I got a picture, but not a close one.
Early Sunday morning, an olive flycatcher landed right on the window by the main bedroom. He was happy to hang out for a few minutes, and it seems he is quite at home at Shang. We also spotted quite a few Acorn Woodpeckers and a healthy covey of quail on the road up. If you are a birdwatcher, I attached a checklist for Lake County just below the slideshow.
We are planning to return in the next few weeks to do a deep cleaning before winter. It's a lovely time to visit!
