She's Always There

 

First thing in the morning until the sun goes down, Summer Fence can be found most days on our back patio.

On occasion she can be seen resting in the shade of the American Linden tree in the northwest corner of our quarter-acre yard. The tree shares the corner with our massive thornless blackberry bush.

I like to imagine Summer Fence nibbling on the few plump, juicy low-hanging berries the kids can't - or are too lazy to - reach.

On the other side of our house there are tell tale signs Summer Fence uses an area of loose decomposed granite for dust baths. Massive fowl footprints are visible in the grains surrounding a bowled-out area.

It seems the peahen is making herself at home.
