We have the most beautiful, yet extremely anti-social little neighbors. They greeted me Sunday morning as I left bright and early for church. JB and I watched them graze yesterday afternoon, and this morning, they were out in full force. We stood and watched them for a long time today until they heard a train whistle, got a little bit spooked and decided it was time to go back into the safety of the trees.

There are advantages to living 100 yards or so from the edge of the woods at the bottom of a mountain! The sights and sounds are incredible. Crickets. Frogs. Birds. Snakes. Coyotes…Let me tell you, when it sounds like there’s a pack of coyotes howling in your backyard, that’s more than a little bit unnerving!

One day some of this will get demolished and it will be a street of houses so we will enjoy our time we get to spend gazing at our little neighbors who lurk in the woods when they come to graze in the sunlight.
