Oh my, it is so beautiful here right now! Here is the view out my front door:
I am finding that I am happier and happier here all of the time. I feel a sense of purpose and peace. I looked at my sweet Alice this morning and thought, "How did I get so lucky?" I love the people, big and small, that I have in my life.
Speaking of little creatures, we happen to have quite a few around here. We have seen a lot of wildlife in our neighborhood since we moved here including a raccoon, a possum, two bears (one was right in my own front yard!), several birds and many, many squirrels.
When we arrived home from church on Sunday, we noticed that the pumpkin on our front porch had been moved.
We knew that some little critter had to have been the culprit.
We went inside, grabbed the camera, and waited. Sure enough, the little thief came back for some more pumpkin seeds!
He is actually rather cute. At least a lot cuter than the mouse I found in my house a few weeks after we moved in. This is what we get for living in the "country" as the man from Connecticut Power referred to our neighborhood a few weeks ago. If this is what you call country, I'll take it! I am just glad that I am close enough to get to the store within five minutes.
I have a lot to get done this afternoon so this will have to be it for this week. :)
Take care you all!
I'm so glad you are feeling peace out there. One day at a time is the best way to live! How fun to live in such a beautiful place! I don't know what I'd do if I saw a bear in our yard!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! I saw the bear as I was leaving in my car. I was grateful for the protection my vehicle provided!
DeleteWonderful photos! Can't wait to see you and the family in ONE WEEK -- can't come fast enough!! xox
ReplyDeleteWe are so, so excited that you will be here soon! I am praying that the leaves will hang on for at least another week!
DeleteI am so jealous of your yard--even with all the furry friends! And I looked through your house photos on my computer (instead of tiny phone pictures) and just love everything about your home. Can't wait to see it in person. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. I hope you really can come someday and see my house! I miss you!
DeleteBy the way, I have to add to our list of animals now. I saw two wild turkeys walking across the street after I came home from the grocery store a few days ago. They were huge!
