Removing a Stump and a Walk On the Talking Trees Trail

Monday January 31, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Trail work

I rode my quad runner up into the hills to do some trail work.

I had a small stump that was in the old trail that needed to be removed. I dug it up thinking it may just be small and pop out but it was small but it was hooked to big log that was buried.

So since I couldn’t dig it out of the ground, I split it up until the remainder was lower then the trail dirt.

I put the dirt back and now it looks like this. Much better.

Trail walk

That was enough work for one day so from there I went over to the Talking Trees Trail and walked around on it. The wind was blowing a bit today so that meant the trees were doing some talking as they rubbed on each other. The wind wasn’t much so there wasn’t a lot of talking as when it really blows.

I walked down the trail through here.

And under this log and down the trail.

Walking through here was nice with the big ferns.

I was making a loop so I walked up this part of the trail.

And along here to get back to where I’d parked the quad runner.

Chickens

I rode the quad back on home where I found the chickens begging to be let out into the front yard where they like to graze in the late afternoon.

The main rooster with some of his hens grazing under some cherry trees.

Quail

I spotted this wild quail. I’ve noticed they’ve been getting quite tame and seem to like to stay in the big brush pile near by.

I think they’ve been getting used to me while I sit in my chairs with my chickens and have been getting brave as they usually fly off and are skittish.

Here’s some more of them, I think there was about 30 or so of them.

The daffodils continue to bloom.

I sat out with the birds until it started to get dark and chilly so I went in for the day.

Nice day.
