It has been a very cold week and some rain has encountered us. Every morning the grass is frozen and looks white due to the frost. No Blue belly lizard has been seen for about a month now and I have no hint that shows that they will be back anytime soon. The summer birds (Robins, Lesser Goldfinch,& California Quail) are starting to disappear south and the Canadian geese are moving into the area. I’m not sure how much longer it will be before we have our first snow fall of the year.

Canadian Geese are birds that are found all over Reno during the winter. The geese are highly hated by golf course and baseball field owners, they damage the grass with body waste and destroy the root for food. "Canada geese have become permanent residents of parks, golf courses, suburban subdevelopments, and other human habitats across much of North America."(Canadian Geese) Geese are an annoying bird when behind your back yard is a golf course.  They are loud and make a mess all over the golf course. These birds make the garbage that needs to be cleaned in the winter.

Garbage continues to be left behind by plants and our trailer continues to fill up slowly inch by inch of yard waste.  The trailer is more than half full due to the garden. My dad has taken every vegetable plant out of the garden and only the dirt is left.  There are a few holes dug up that are full of ashes from the fire place.  Firewood is split and stacked under the porch for the winter in case it rains or snows, the wood doesn’t get wet. Winter is cold and all the trash must be cleaned before it gets out of hand for spring.
