In the last few days we have received a few inches of rain. It was much needed and the fields are bouncing back now. We baled last month and the grass has not grown much due to little rain for around four weeks. But now we are catching back up and getting out of the drought. The fields have brightened up with a lush green color, and everything looks like its coming back well.
A few weeks ago a family of six geese started hanging out by my pond. There are four babies and two adults. Though the babies already lost their grey by the time they showed up. For a few weeks they could not fly, but now they can.
There are some bare spots in the grass due to the drought, but I think they will come back over time. Otherwise I may need to reseed some areas. But we shall see, I will wait to see how well everything comes back on its own first.
Getting rain is much appreciated, we do not need to water our outdoor plants. Glad we moved everything out of the green house and now the rains can do the work.
Even the trees in the forest were showing stress. They were starting to show their fall colors even though its months early. Hopefully the recent rains have given them a break from the heat and stress of low rainfall. But now everything is looking very green and lush again, so I think they have appreciated the rainfall.
The weeds have been staying down which is nice for around my solar panels, but soon I will need to go out there with the weed whacker and cut them back so they do not block the panels. My mower wont fit back there, I only have a riding mower so maybe I should look into getting a push mower as well.
Looks like there is more rain in the forecast so looking forward to getting weekly rains or even more frequently. That is more of what I am used to living in the region. Usually we get rains a few times a week, so when we were getting it once a month its not normal for the area.
The geese spend their time between the fields and the pond. I see them diving in the water and practice flying together.
I think they live in the brush near by, but most of their time is spent near this pond. Not sure how much longer they will stick around, now the babies can fly I think they are going to leave soon.
While I was getting some video outside, the geese walked around the corner by me and did not seem to mind my presence. They are getting quite used to us, we want to try to give them peas at some point. But its hard to get closer than 20 feet from them at any time. But that is the hope one day, to hand feed them. That would be cool.
Having rain makes the gardener or farmer happy. Glad the rains visited your place.😊
I hope the geese will get close to you and your family and that they will visit your place from time to time.😊
So true, we are always hoping for rain. So now getting it for over a week has been quite the treat.
Thanks, we hope they stick around too.
Enjoy the treat from nature.
You're welcome. Gonna see the geese in the next post too.😊
I got some videos of them as well so expect to see more.
I'm looking forward to it.😊
Maybe the Geese like your presence😅😅
The pictures are cool!
Hehe glad you liked the pictures.. I enjoy having them around, as long as they do not poop on my porch.. lol
The rain is a blessing for the countryside, with its arrival everything looks natural green.
I hope that now it rains more frequently, and with its arrival they will recover and grow hay in the areas where they have not yet grown.
How wonderful to see life in the pond, the geese are very good guadians, and soon you will feed it from your hand
Have a beautiful day dear friend @solominer
Sure is.. having consistent rains again has helped us out a lot.. No need to water anything when we get rains like this.
I am glad to see them.. hope you have a good day too.
Beautiful shots! I feel like we have gotten a lot of rain lately, but the grass was starting to turn brown and the tree in front of our house was already starting to lose leaves. I guess we haven't gotten as much as I thought!
Thank you, well hope you get some more rain to help out your grass and trees. If we go more than a week with out rain I would consider that not enough.
Thanks! I think we have some coming most of next week. They are calling for some hot and humid weather.
Careful with the weed whacker.. there's lots of wires under there.. I put weed barrier on ground and covered it with rocks.. worked great.. also give the snakes less hiding places
Yeah I have to be careful, I usually go in there with some hedge trimmers and cut by hand.
But I need to do some wire management under the panels so I do not have any mishaps.
Thanks for the tip, will look into using weed barrier.
About a week ago when it was raining here I read somewhere that 'People who say only sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain' Rain really brings happiness and life. Really nice shots!😊

Hah so true, we are so happy to get rain again. It was quite reliving to all the wild life and to us so we do not need to water manually every day.
thank you
We appreciate your work and your publication has been hand selected by the geography curation team on behalf of the Amazing Nature Community. Keep up the good work!
Oh nice, thank you.
Hello @solominer
What a joy it is that it rained there, and that the hay in the field is being replenished. I hope the rains continue as you hope.
It must be beautiful to see the family of geese fly across your property and watch us swim in the pond
Congratulations on the beautiful visit
We are quite glad we got rain. Hopefully they will keep coming our way.
It sure is.. a lot of fun seeing them land in the pond and take off.
Glad you enjoyed seeing them.
Nature gives back and is rewarding if you nurture it. Fortunately also where I live it rained and my parents garden started to flourish once again.
So true, we took good care of the plants while the rains were lacking. Glad nature is helping out now.
Thats good to hear, hope your parents garden does well.
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏

It’s so wonderful to see nature bounce back with rain. The geese must be a lovely addition to the view. Nice one brother
Sure is, nice to have them around along with the recent rains.
Absolutely brother... Hope to see more progress with the property it's looking really clean and awesome
Rain is the base of farming and there is a lot of greenery around your place. Thanks for sharing these awesome photos
Ah yeah, I wish the rains would be a little more consistent here. But maybe next year we will get a wet summer.
Glad you enjoyed seeing them.
Rainy days makes the grass grow healthily. And the geese will surely have a lot of fun while swimming in your pond.
So true, the fields really came back as soon as the rains showed up.
Hehe they do have quite the fun time.. silly geese
Hi, nice family of geese walking through the meadows freshly sprayed by the rain, nice post my friend.👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes they sure do and they look amazing!
Good job friend!
Thanks, I think its all coming back nicely too..
It is also raining here continuously....and greenery is all around 😄😄
Oh nice, well hopefully no floods.. as too much is not good as well.
But the plants always seem happy with lots of rain so thats good.
Nope...still the situation is under control...just missing to go garden for the evening walk 😀
