This beautiful little girl really surprised us- we hoped we would catch a feral cat that has been hanging around. Of course we let this little fox go free right away. Did you know that foxes can bark like a dog? She hissed and growled too. Min

Isn't it wonderful to see the wildlife? I also love your sculpture. He's very serene. I have a granite owl my daughter gave me along with a few other 'donations' from family who know I love to garden.

Back a few years ago I had a family of foxes who had a den in the spring. The mating pair produced three kits and every morning between 5 & 6 a.m. they'd romp and play down near my blueberry bushes. I got a kick out of watching them.

You were lucky to be able to see your fox family! We have been here more than 20 years and have never had a sighting so I was thrilled to see this one. We have left a majority of our land wild so they have plenty of places to hide.

Now to try again for that blasted cat!

The stone head came from my parents' home high in the Blue Ridge mountains in NC. There is another- I will get a photo. They were hand-chiseled by someone in the area many years ago. Min

Not exactly the helpers... but they are definitely helping themselves on my yard and especially vegetable garden:

if only raccoons stayed that size and had better personalities

Ha! The raccoons here are so huge I thought they were badgers. I had no idea they got that huge.

If only coons and skunks didn't keep getting rabies here and putting the whole area in a panic. I've had rabid animals in my yard.

Here is the companion stone head to the one I posted earlier, and this one is not as serene- maybe it's the one that scares away bad spirits. I didn't think to name them, like davids10's funny "adam and evelyn" - suggestions?
I have forgotten the name of the potted plant- it didn't like me and didn't last very long though I did try to treat it right.
The old reflective road sign looks wonderfully eerie shining on the porch in the dark. It's one of my favorite goofy spur-of-the-moment purchases.
green go- your critter photos are wonderful! You have an amazing crew of garden "helpers". Min

OOPs! don't know what I was thinking- this is the very same stone head as above. (old photo) If you will bear with me, I'll get a shot of the (actual) other one. Sorry. Min

Here it is! Looks kind of grumpy I think. Min

Good vibes? Serene? To me it looks as if you are ready to use the circular blade to sever the head! It is fun to see the interesting things you have put in gardens, and the funny animal visitors.
