As I was sharing my pictures of the chicken coop with my friend, she asked for my blog address. To which I realized I have never explained why it's called "Austin Lake Gardening." We live on an over-sized pond which is named Austin Lake, and blog name choices were very limited. I'm proud of our little lake, it attracts awesome waterfowl and gives us a beautiful view. After this month's rain it's higher than it's ever been, I hope it can stay up for a couple years.
We have a family of Sandhill cranes that have lived here every summer, along with a pair of Mute Swans, and many Canadian Geese and Mallards. Occasionally we will see Herons and other birds, and there is an Eagle in the area who has stopped by a couple times. His name is Dark Wing Bright Beak.
It's a pretty beautiful place to live. The spring and summer make up for the long, dreary winter.
