"The world as we know is an elephant's howdah; The elephant stands on the back of a turtle; The turtle in turn on a rock in the ocean." Robert Frost

Critters in the Garden
Look at the critters in the garden! First I have seen a chipmunk in the back yard in 20 years. Got a picture of a butterfly right beside the garden. Also spotted a rabbit - seems to like the clover - has left the garden alone so far. It has lived here for a long time. A robin built this nest earlier in the spring and already raised three babies. Now it looks like she is back again rearranging the nest. Do they raise more than one family in the same summer?
But the real prize goes to my neighbor for spotting a deer, yes a DEER, in my backyard last week. It was a young male and came out of the yard, bounded through our shared driveway and took off south on Ritter. Whatever was it thinking?!
And last but not least - I spotted a turtle today!
