So, the wildlife census this week includes a wild tom turkey, a fox, a HUGE spider web (an orb almost 3 feet across) and a loon.
My kids and wife observed the fox over the space of about an hour, napping in the tall grass behind our house, and wandering through the woods nearby looking for a little mousy snack. Seemed like odd behavior for a fox as they are usually so cagey and hard to spot.
The loon we saw today while swimming at the lake. Them are big birds. They apparently nest in the weeds and swampy area to the west of the beach. Beautiful beautiful birds.
I love living in a place where we are surrounded by lots of friends. I love it even more that my kids get to see them. We are not alone.

- Family guy, hurtling headlong through the late forties. Not complaining. Far from it. Life is what you make it, and life is good. I enjoy the love of one good woman. I revel in the joy of two strong and beautiful daughters. I delight in all that is true and good and beautiful. My business is all about words, ideas, and the business that they can create. My hobbies are mostly physical (except the ones that aren't), taken outdoors and often painful. I kind of like it that way. I'm not sure why. I just do. My faith is Christian and that makes me a sinner and a saint, swallowing the the Word, the Bread, and the Wine altogether, with the Nicene Creed for dessert, and all by the grace of Jesus. I'll converse about most anything, even if I don't know much about it. That's pretty much why I thought a blog might be a good idea.

I'm not meaning to imply that NH is the only place that has wildlife. Animals certainly manage to survive and thrive in rural, suburban and urban areas. You are sitting on the edge between a highly settled area and a wildlife refuge, and I suppose that has to help.
I have to ask, though...what were you doing staring out the window when you should be WORKING!!! I'm sure Mr. Bentz would love to know how you are spending your time. Perhaps if you focused more on study and less on ogling furry beasties, you might be able to give the crowd more for their money come sermon time.
HA! LOL. couldn't resist.
