    The grass has been greening up over the past couple days. The landscaping crew is keeping it down! :yes:

    When they are not free ranging they are safe. Can a bear bypass thr electric fence, yes. Can a weasel find a 1"gap somewhere, probably. Closing in small gaps is on the list. :)

    Hmmm, so the grass is greener on the other side? :D

    That's just about the only section, lol
