Neighborhood Improvements

One of our neighbors just added a new gate! 

Voluntary Water Conservation

The city website is supporting the Trinity River Authority and Tarrant Regional Water District by requesting that we participate in voluntary water conservation.

Specifically, that means the public is asked to reduce or eliminate outdoor watering between the hours of 10 A.M. and 6 P.M.

I was walking at the Colleyville Nature Center yesterday and the water in those ponds is dramatically low. I have only measured about 1/2 inch in our raingauge in the last few months.

Ducks

Early morning preening and breakfasting.

Duck Report

White Nose and The Twin seem to be happy to hunker down at the far southern edge of the neighborhood, watching cars go by in numerous directions. Their heads seem darker now and their size hasn't changed in a long while, so I guess they have reached maturity.

Neighbors Decorate for the Fall

Some of our neighbors are sharing fall spirit, with a happy pumpkin scarecrow display and a Veterans' Day tribute.

Fall is in the Air on Shady Brook

Even though we haven't had very cool weather yet, the amount of daylight is decreasing and the leaves are starting to turn. I spotted one tree in the neighborhood with some pretty fall color. We are expecting lows in the 30's later this week, so maybe we'll have more color by next weekend.
