Creature Report

Our holler is all abuzz with wildlife.  Such a pretty time of year.  We have the loveliest little neighborhood for walking in.  My favorite stretch is the field to the west of our house when the sun setting behind it.  There are so many beautiful flowers popping up everywhere too.  I just love all of the peonies in bloom.  Peonies are right behind zinnias on my list of favorite flowers.  Others on the list include cosmos and Mexican sunflowers.  One of these days I would love to have a cutting garden. 
 
We have a darling little deer living outside the "making things room".  Sometimes he gets all the way up to the window.  I had a stare off with him the other day.  What a beauty....just don't eat my hostas (or "pastas" as Evangeline calls them)!!  We also spotted a little salamander the other day on our porch.  We tried to identify him using Evangeline's Illinois amphibian cards.  We pegged him as a possible Eastern Red Back, but Kyle's not convinced.
