Spent another 3 hours mowing around the ranch house to clean the land of tall grass and dried wildflowers. Any fire on the ranch with all the dead vegetation could be really serious for any structure too close to the heat or flames.
Unfortunately I also have a barn, pump house, and two rain water collection tanks that also need a cleared area around each The worst part is that everything is so dry, you create large dust clouds that follow you around in the stagnate air.
Rancho Cardinalis is located in the Texas Hill Country outside the village of Center Point that rests on the Guadalupe River. We acquired the ranch in 2005, built temporary living quarters in 2006 and our home in 2009. Our ranch is managed under a State wildlife plan. The focus is on Near-Artic and Neo-Tropical migratory & breeding Hill County birds. We also manage for small mammals and butterflies. The ranch is named after our most abundant bird – Northern Cardinal - cardinalis
