Ticks galore, including increasing numbers of Lone Star ticks which can leave their host with allergies to red meat for life. Geese nesting along the pond. Soon they'll be training their goslings on lawn destruction techniques. Beavers damming the pond's feeder Creek. Order from the City to remove the dams, which is impossible--gotta remove the beavers, which by the way have girdled (and therefore killed) 3 big poplars and a gum tree on the edge of said pond, so I'll have to drop and remove them. Many restrictions as to methods of beaver eradication. Deer keep destroying ornamental plantings. Boy, do I love nature right about now.
