Do you ever see wild animals?

Wild animals are always in my backyard… no, I’m not referring to my children (although they can be wild at times). We have just over 6 acres. A creek borders one side of our property alongside a small hill full of trees. We also have a line of apple, peach, pear trees cutting the property in half (it’s a beautiful property – pic is our back yard). One day, I went out on our covered patio and saw an amazing site. Truly, there was a family of 15 turkeys, 7 deer, and 2 ground hogs prancing around. We always have deer around here, but to see all that at one time was amazing. We’ve had bears, raccoon’s, squirrels, possum’s, snakes, and even rabbits running around back there. In our pond we have several different kinds of fish, frogs, and even a turtle. Look up… at the feeder, or in the trees, and you get anything from Owls to Bats, to Buzzards, to Crows, Bluejays and Cardinals, etc., birds are everywhere… I guess bees and wasps count as well… argh. Well, as you can see, we’ve had our fair share of wild animals. God’s creation is amazing and I’m grateful for our little piece of dirt – it is so full of life. It is truly a wonderful place… I’m so blessed and grateful. I hope you’ve had the opportunity to witness all of the same. God bless, DrJ
