Living on a dead end dirt road entitles one to up close encounters with native flora and fauna. In the past two weeks we have seen:
eighteen wild turkeys (pictured above... I have NEVER seen more than one, maybe two at one time)
one black snake
innumerable brown rabbits
two centipedes
a dozen frogs
one turtle
two tortoises
100 cow birds
dozens of house wrens
eight squirrels
fifteen wasps (think of these in the past tense as they are no longer nesting among the eaves of our house)
millions of ants
ten lizards
one armadillo

That's quite a list! I bet your kids just love seeing all that wildlife.
And I thought we lived somewhere close to nature!
Thank you too for your very beautiful comment over at my place

I'd love to see an armadillo one day.
Yes, I am jealous about the armadillo too...
I bet those wild turkeys don't go strolling about in the open like that in November...
I stopped in frozen horror at "one black snake" and couldn't move past it. I'm sure the rest of the list was cute and cuddly, if only I could move from where I am now stuck.
