Fall Falling Leaves Moon
So. After we hired Charles Dehn and his bobcat to fill in the holes made by Rigel and Vega over the years, we put up fencing around the newly filled in areas. We used silt fencing, since it’s cheap, $20 for a hundred foot run with stakes included. Why? Because Rigel would have found the new, soft soil even better for digging. And I would have given a strangled sound when she did.
Does this solve the digging? No. After all, there’s still all that property outside of the fence. But we waited as long as we could into the fall. Eventually the ground freezes here. Then, but only then, does Rigel stop exploring what lies beneath. Once the ground freezes we’ll remove the fence. We plan to be out of here before it thaws next spring.
