Good morning!!!!

Although expensive how about culverts to move the water. When I moved where we are now I put in over 350 foot of 15 to 18 in culvert no more water problems

It still ends up in my pasture somewhere.

And the county said I cannot move it to the drainage ditch on the road.

The water after regrading was between his property and his next door neighbor. His regrading on his property led to water retention on his property lines to his neighbor. He then dug a 24 inch culvert out from his neighbors property line to his pond. His pond now cannot handle the water, so now it dumps and flows on my property.

Not sure i understand, So the neighbor diverts water to another neighbor, who has culverts to route it back to neighbors pond, then it goes to your property?

My next door neighbor with a pond decided to regrade his property.

In so doing, he created a serious water retention issue between himself and his neighbor.

To fix that issue, he dug culverts in to move that water to his pond.

His pond now collects that water issue he created, and now overflows on my property when it rains. The overflow is bad enough that I complained to him and the county as now I have moving water through my hay fields.

No hummingbirds here
But we do have about 20 doves,
Half dozen Myna birds,
A pair or so of yellow bill cardinals, we used to call them Brazilians.
A pair of regular cardinals,
A pair of Saffron finches
All show up for breakfast of wild birdseed thrown on the concrete.
All get along, except a couple of the doves are bullies.
All have brought young to feed.
Simba, the cat, will often lay within sight, his tail waving excitedly. He did get a dove one day and was severely chastised.
They will eat even if the dogs are there.
Hard to get a good group pic as the doves are very skittish and fly away with any movement even in the house.
The little ones are nearly fearless, the yellow bills often coming inside the screened area and have even had to be rescued inside the house.

66°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 85° today. No rain in the forecast until the weekend here.

Spent most of yesterday knocking items off the honey-do list. Wifey was happy about that, as she spent most of the day at her quilting machine. Many of the things on my list were cleaning up messes or problems created by the boy (like repairing the broken electric chainsaw, cleaning up messes left in the barn and the garden area, etc.). Going to have a sitdown with him this week about what he's planning for his future, as he seems intent on continuing along his recent path of poor decisions under the assumption someone will come along behind him and "fix" everything.

We have three hummingbird feeders in the back by the sunroom, and one in front by the porch. Those birds can get quite bossy when the feeders go dry.

Sounds like the boy would be a good match for my VW mechanic. He's now lost or fired all of his help, and the shop is still a wreck. He'd fit right in!
