Living the WILD Life!!!

I’ve just got to say that I have enjoyed my pool much more since it has turned into a backyard habitat rather that a swimming pool. I was all set to clean it out this spring, then we had the broken arm and eye surgeries to deal with, so it never got done. We are visited on a regular basis by racoons, foxes, possums, turtles, frogs, birds, hawks, and homeless kitty cats. The wild thing is that they all seem to get along with each other. I guess since they all share a taste for dry cat food, which is nearly always available, thanks to Kitty King coming to the door for food when he knows a hungry animal is close by, they don’t need to look at each other with hungry eyes. Actually, I’ve never seen the hawk eating cat food, but the other birds sure do. It is just so cool how they all get along.
Now, for those who would judge me for making food available for wild animals, let me explain that they had acres to run in and live wild and free until an apartment complex was erected just behind my house. There is a narrow strip of land and a fence separating us from the college students (a different kind of wild life–very noisy) and there is just not much habitat left for these lovely creatures. Chad and I have really enjoyed the visits from these gorgeous neighbors. Hopefully they don’t mind us taking their picture.
