BACKYARD ANIMALS

    I love the critters, as I call them, that come up into our yard.  I especially love the ones that live here.

     When we first moved in and until we put up the curtains, we would lie in bed and watch the wild game, deer, birds and even Dingoes playing around in the fields.  Now those were some sights to see!  The deer were so graceful.

     We've had coyotes playing on our front porch at night.  Oh, how I wish I'd gotten some pics of this for sure!

     Once I saw an Otter going across the side yard one afternoon!  Yes, an otter!  I couldn't believe that one!

     There was a time that I had a bobcat for a pet, well you might say that.  He slept in my garden cabin until I ran him out of there.  It was just a little unsettling to go out for my gardening chores only to find him lounging around in there!  He would wait for me to walk up to him and shoo him off, and then rub against my leg.  I must admit it was a little creepy.  One day he just quit coming around.

     I can't keep a strawberry patch for the birds and groundhogs!  Sadly!

     I do love them all and hope you enjoy our backyard pets as I call them
