critters at the farm

"Nature is the dream, and I am her wanderer." ~ Angie Weiland Crosby

At the farm we share the space with lots of little creatures. Living in harmony with nature...it's one of the beauties of life. Magic can be found in the simplest of things, both large and small—clouds sailing, a blade of sunlit grass, a flower budding, birds chirping, and even pesky raccoons. And we are wanderers amid the enchantment.

Raccoon says, "High five!"


Some kind of a moth...it's pretty!


The pesky raccoons sure do enjoy snacking on the cantaloupes!


Hello, little grasshopper.

Mockingbird. There are two nests in the trees and we've been feeding them blueberries. I love listening to their always-changing song.

  1. Your barn swallow looks just like our house sparrow!

    1. Oops...it is a sparrow! I was hurrying and had a little mix-up.

  2. A lovely post. The little bird is a beauty but not a barn swallow which has a dark blue back and rusty orange breast.
