A Wild Life With Wildlife

 

Thank God He is in control of all the wild aspects of life. Perhaps God was using Hendrix to get that reminder to us when Hendrix set up the scene above back in March. Visits with and from wildlife help us to stop and realize that they don't seem to notice hysteria in society, they go about their day and consider good weather, shelter and access to food as all they need. We have had plenty of all, and we're extremely grateful for that. 

We've never had geese near our property. All the Spring rain must have made it extra inviting.
Conserving worm bait by tearing them in two. :-/
We'll never forget how this beautiful tree frog fell from the patio umbrella.
The birds loved for the kids to do the trampoline sprinkler -- they would come to bathe after the kids were done.
Hendrix likes to take bugs out of the house and put them back in their appropriate environment.
This baby bunny was so cute and fun to watch grow over the season.
Scarlet needed a help with peeling dead skin.

Lots of garter snakes this year. But as Uncle Leonard reminded us, we should be sure we know the difference since copperheads can look similar.
Skar came outside to play and it was funny trying to convince him to come back in.
How sweet and alarming that this fawn wanted to play with Zane, Hendrix and me.
The goats at the zoo loved all the extra attention they got once visitors were allowed back at the zoo.
We get some of the most beautiful finches. I watch them from the kitchen window.
Who can forget when we got a National Geographic moment in our front yard?!
Similar to years in past, we get a monarch who seems to be a regular. This one stayed around for a good couple of months, flying from her favorite spot in the back to our front porch frequently.
