little 'Rocky'

We began the day again clearing and burning cedar. Today working on north side behind the house. I needed to clean up from some cedars I just cut here to use as a rake on the new road dirt just spread. While working here I drug out a large hollow live oak which fell in the recent ice/wind. Evidently there was a squirrel nest in it. A baby squirrel was lost and adopted Terry as her new momma. The baby squirrel followed Terry every where she went for more than an hour. Terry was finally able to 'shake' it and it went up a tree. The baby really started whistling so hopefully it eventually found it's real momma.

This afternoon I went to a good friends to 'borrow' a billy goat for the season. He's a good looking Boer Billy, tall with nice large horns and good beard. I think the 'girls' will take to him.

Late this evening we again cleared cedar starting a new burn location near the west bluff to burn before the hopeful forecast rain. We were able to join the two areas we have been clearing. Successful in all counts. We began getting a good rain this evening and we really really need the rain.
