Wildlife

I miss living in PA and I miss my farm.  It was so peaceful.  Living in OH is so different... In a little neighborhood.  Our home is fairly private because of all the trees but it's still sort of city living.   I do often forget that we are still quite close to the country. This little town likes to think it is citified but there is not much happening here...

I put in a garden and some little critter, probably Peter Rabbit, was nibbling my lettuces.... Had to put up a temporary fence till I can put something more permanent up.







I like to feed the birds and we are trying to figure out how to keep them from their bomber raids on our back deck.... As my husband is trying to refinish it.

The squirrels are frequenting our bird feeders- they and the chipmunks racing around, are driving the dog to distraction.

We found little hand prints from a raccoon on our grill up on the deck.

Last night we went to a friends house and sat around a fire and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs.  That was nice... While we were sitting there my daughter said that the Police Dept. had posted on their FB Page that a Black Bear had been sighted behind the High School.... And no one should feed or approach it. While we were all talking the smell of a skunk could be detected....

We headed home and saw eyes glowing when we pulled into the yard... a opossum slinked away.


Lots of wild life around us here in the big, big city...
