CHANCE ENCOUNTERS....

--The only good thing I can say about a riding lawn mower with a mind of it's own. Is it's nice to see the flowers that have a tendency to grow when the grass gets a little tall.
--Of course the bugs have a field day with all the new play area. But that’s to be expected I guess. We do manage to keep the front yard down. Most of the time.
--The back yard around the house and a ways back we keep down. The rest its a free for all. The flowers are nice. And the trees that take root are a plus. Of course my wife has her own thoughts on the subject. Until she realized that the shade they provided turned into a plus.
--Its a far cry from when we first moved here. Now at lest we have a few trees to break up the endless sea of green. And course there are the chance encounters with mother nature's little creatures that are a pleasure sometimes. Even though at times it seems only the oddballs and whack a doodles stop by for a visit.
--Like the possum who hug around for a bit. It was kind of weird with him hanging on the porch railing with all the dimblub cats who hang around. And the family of skunks that moved into the hedgerow last winter. And of course every once in a while a deer will wander through. And a while back there were a few wild turkeys in the back yard just hanging out.
--It's getting so now you never know what you might encounter when you head out for your morning cup of coffee in your serenity chair to watch the sunrise...
