Bring your boots (and your balance)
Buds on a pink wild honeysuckle bush at the edge of the back field
A turtle covered in moss
A grassy grove at the entrance to the trail
The only frog that would hold still for a picture
An old stone wall back in the woods
A pinecone stuck to its branch
Deer tracks in the mud
A deep spot in the marsh where the stream flows through
It’s pretty cool to go for an hour and a half walk, all on my own property. There were a few moments where I wasn’t entirely sure how to get back to the house.
What did you do with your weekend? Any wildlife sightings in your neighbourhood?
I had several wildlife sightings in my neighbourhood. There was a large cinnamon bear hanging around my house and while I was cutting grass I realized I wasn’t alone when I turned around to and a black bear that couldn’t care less about the riding mower. We’ve got lots of geese with goslings around. Last night when I was watching TV two loons swam by the window, we’d only noticed one before. It’s a great time of year, although I run out of things to talk to myself about when I’m trying to let the bears know I’m going for a walk.
Your last sentence made me laugh out loud. 🙂 Sounds like you have quite a wild kingdom up there.
Remind me to buy you a bell
So that the animals hear me coming? We don’t have bears, you know. Or is this some tool to help me find my way home?
The other night we had three baby raccoons in the grapevine, eating all the grapes with their tiny black hands. The grapevine leans right against the kitchen window, so I had the perfect viewpoint, only about a foot away. So cute!
Your farm looks amazing. Wow, so much to discover!
I can just picture the tiny paws!
