So, we've only been here just shy of 6 weeks but these are things I've observed that you'll see or hear on the ranch, outside and likely a few inside:

Always:

quiet **
dust
dirt
sand
chickens
feathers
grass
bluebirds *
dogs *
hair

stars *
beautiful sunrises *
boots
beautiful sunsets *
cardinals
pinecones
pine needles
chicken poop
gopher mounds
scissortails *
spider webs
dirt dauber nests
trucks
flies
trees
tractors
cows
fog rising off the pond *

Sometimes:

piles of feathers
cows mourning the separation from their babies
smoke from burning brush piles (or trash)
random dogs
cattle trailers
squirrels
woodpeckers
deer
hogs (although we haven't seen any yet and they'll be eliminated when we do)
people
frogs *
toads *

trucks hauling chickens

Someday *:
