It was a banner day for wildlife sightings.  On the way to pick up my grand-daughters I was lucky enough to see three swans swimming with a flock of Canada Geese.  I've seen flocks flying overhead but this is the first time this fall that I've seen them in a pond close to the road.

When I have the girls with me, we are always watching for animals.  It seems that all the wild creatures were out this evening just so the girls could see them.  

Five white tail deer were grazing in a field alongside the road.  As we drove by, they glanced up but did not run.  A bit further up the road, Wren was watching out the window and I heard her say "Gramma, that's a really big gopher."  I couldn't see what she was looking at until I noticed dirt flying out of a hole.  A large badger was digging in a farm field.  That is the first one that I have ever seen.  What a beauty!  We were almost at my house when three white tail deer ran across the road and jumped the fence.  It was an amazing day for seeing forest creatures.

The weather is supposed to be nice so we'll be taking advantage of it and spending lots of time outside.  The girls have lots of outdoor activities planned; picnic, playground, leaf walk. Fun, fun, fun!
