Warm and sunny with very slight cloud
Today started early with a run to the nursery. They had arranged a sale on many plants, and we took advantage of it to the tune of 27 perry pears and a large number of silvan blackberries (sic).
Another purchase was an ubileen pear tree. This we planted over Wimsey's grave, as a memorial tree.
We assembled a few tree guards and placed them around our new purchases, but we need more rebar with which to brace the guards. As it is, the shifting of fences, placement of guards and addition of a temporary sheep shelter took much of the rest of the day.
The hunt for predators after our ducks continues, although the ride home from the nursery was a good one for wildlife. A coyote crossed the road in front of the truck, as did a doe with a couple of fawns. One fawn in particular appeared to be interested in the truck, and rather than wandering off, stopped to look, wandered up and down a little, still looking, and finally left only as the truck rolled on.
