The Animals

A few things I have learned over the past year in our new digs:

1. We have more flies in our house in January than any time during the Summer
2.  We get invaded by the ladybugs in the fall—They are NOT as cute as I remember.  In fact they are creepy when they fly right at you!
3.  There is a bobcat that lives up the street, and wanders around the neighborhood in the winter.
4.  My kids have found pet snakes throughout my yard.
5.  We grow MUTANT snails!

(But they make great science experiments for my boys)

6.  I’m still  hoping the mouse traps in our basement are precautionary.  (or at least that the snakes are doing their job.)
7.  I now understand why the neighbors have chicken-wire fences around their flower gardens.  The deer have no fear!
8.  My dogs know how to find my house…Unfortunately they need to do it BEFORE the cops pick them up.
9.  There are plenty of horses, goats, pigs, and chickens to keep my boys happy when we are wandering the neighborhood.
10.  Seeing 10 deer in the field behind my house every morning in the winter is priceless!
