The boys have seen lots of critters around our neighborhood lately. There is a large pasture behind our house where a farmer keeps some cows. WE've got to witness a couple of births lately, and it's a lot of fun to watch the cows. The boys like to ride their bikes on the gravel road that separates our back yard and the pasture. Sometimes we ride all the way to the end of that road, and there are horses you can pet at the old farmhouse. We have not seen any deer lately, not since the fall when we saw 5 bucks run through.
Lately though, we've seen some more unpleasant critters. A skunk, rabbits, etc. But, the boys were really excited this morning and yelling because they saw some coyotes out in the pasture. Two of them. We have heard them a lot at night, but never seen any until this morning. The boys really got a kick out of seeing them.
