Musings On Country Life

Several months ago, we moved out to the country. Our home sits on 14 beautiful acres overlooking a river. Is this heaven or hell? As we adapt to country life, I find I need a creative outlet to share the trials and tribulations, as well as the joys of country life.

Ahh . . . . Country Life!

Country Kritters vs. City Kritters

What is up with birds flying into the window and killing themselves? This house has been here about five years, so it isn't like it is a surprise to them, and yet I have four dead birds laying on the patio after colliding with the picture window. Dolly just growls now when a bird hits the window.

I have also noticed that the squirrels in the city and acrobats and can figure out how to get into a bird feeder no matter what steps you take. So far, the country squirrels haven't figured out how to get to the seed. Not that I'm complaining!

I am going to have to start carrying a camera on me. As we walked the mile long drive, Dolly spotted a frog in the grass. She ran over and pounced trying to catch it time after time. Picture her putting her paws together and diving into the grass. I laughed so hard. She is loving the country, but she still isn't sure what to make of the wild turkeys.
