Squirrels, rabbits, birds....oh my!

Squirrels, rabbits, and birds are just some of the typical visitors we see in our backyard. Our house sits on about 3 1/2 acres and being an avid animal lover I kinda feed what I can. Bad habit I know but when you look out your window to see a large variety of birds and squirrels playing you can't help but smile. Occasionally we will see a pair of rabbits causing mischief among the main residents. Once we even had a fox! Oh my that one was a bit alarming considering it was daylight. We've seen deer, ground hogs, sandhill cranes, neighborhood pets, and more over the 17 years we've lived here. It's why I love country life. Animals give me a sense of joy and peace that people can't provide. I love watching them seeing who comes who stays who merely visits as their stories unfold before me. Their journeys and stories are something to be told. Maybe just maybe I will one day. Till then I leave you with this thought do you pay attention to the stories of others no matter how small? If not I wonder how much are you missing in this life.....
