Countryside Wildlife


Driving down the road this afternoon, Emily and I came across something that just might have wandered away from where he usually lives. Because he sure the heck isn't what you normally see in the hedgerows round here.


It was rather surreal. As is having sunshine and lovely, lovely hot weather for an extended period of time. Not complaining, mind you. Lapping it up and appreciating every last moment of it. And BBQs make for less washing up. It's a win win situation here.

Hope you are basking in the sunshine too.

  7. Just saw Hadders comment above and I'm chuckling. A colleague once went to great lengths to tell me they kept getting a peacock in their garden and thought it came from the allotments behind their house. He had to admit later when he went home and told his wife what he'd told me, she said: You donut you meant pheasant!

  11. No sunshine here, just rain, rain, rain. You watch, it will rain all next week once school goes back so the kids are stuck inside driving us teachers bonkers!

  15. So weird, but what a nice surprise. Did he walk away from a neighboring petting zoo?

  16. Ooh you really are country! When you see wildlife on the roads. Hey, the grass is yellowing off on the side so the road! Does that ever happen in England? I wouldn't have thought it would often get dry or hot enough.
