When we first moved here Benton had a funny fascination with the squirrels. They are everywhere running around, and climbing trees. He would always point them out and watch them. I think they are very cute but since I lived here in Illinois for 6 years when I was younger I was somewhat use to them. I love looking out the window seeing them flutter from here to there.
We also have such a pretty red bird that comes and sits on the trees behind our house. I love the noise they make, it's so pretty. I think it might be a Cardinal.
Also living in our backyard are 2 bunnies. They aren't always in our backyard but I see them about everyday. I think bunnies are really cute and I don't mind having them in my backyard. I love watching them bounce around our yard.
But there is one animal in particular that I DO mind being in my backyard. It just gives me the creeps every time I see it. I opened my bathroom window and this popped out from under our shed...
Yep, we have a Groundhog. Who has a Groundhog in their backyard? It's a little to much for me. Now I have the funny fascination with looking out my window EVERY single time I walk by to see if it's out and about. Yucky! I have images of Roxy and Mr. Groundhog going at it and it freaks me out. Benton says that it won't hurt Roxy but that it will just run back into it's hole, all I can say is I hope he's right. I'm creeped out by him...
First thing tomorrow I'm calling animal control!

Wowser! You've got a lot of animals running about... My very first thought when I saw the picture of the groundhog was "ohmygosh how cool!" Then I read your response... and I guess I would be a little creeped out too!
haha scary! i wold be creeped out too! thats cool you have all those animals right there though! miss you guys!!
I can't believe all of those animals you got running around your backyard. Though yeah the groundhog would kinda freak me out a little!
Wow! That was quite the slide show of animals Ü I've never even seen a ground hog in real life...I would be creeeped out too.
Oh my goodness...now that is a little different, isn't it. I am with you, I would be freaking out. I don't like rodent type animals. Good luck with that.
When I was really little we had bunnies visit our house in Montana. My mom used to put warm oatmeal out for them. Weird, but maybe? Looks like your house is a zoo for sure, though!
Oh my gosh, a groundhog would freak me out too! You have a zoo in your own backyard. At least the bunnies are super cute : )
Oh and Cambree at the golf course, those pictures were priceless. She seriously has the cutest little face.
Oh Lissy I just love your blog! It always cheers me up and also makes me laugh hard! You are crazy girl! Small creatures are better than deer and cows like we used to get in our backyard in Montana.....Luv and miss you all! Mom Linda
