I can't even see my neighbor's house from where we live, so it is nice to have some cyber-neighbors to chat with over tea! Diane, I absolutely love foxes. We had a fox den up the road from where we used to live and I loved watching the kits play on the hillside when we drove by. They were so unconcerned about the cars, but if you slowed down or rolled down a window, they disappeared immediately. Sinclair, I'm yet to see a single raccoon. I've seen some as roadkill, but no closer than two miles from us. I haven't even seen their little hand prints in the snow. I'm sort of wondering if the strong coyote presence isn't keeping them a little further off? Oh, I’m so happy to meet you, too, Heather!

We live out in the middle of the woods and I can't tell you the amount of times we're awaken by our lab and beagle due to the coyotes nearby. The pack has even been know to wake us through the baby monitor, thankfully we are past the need for those now as it is very creepy to hear those at 3am like they are IN your baby's room. Anyway, so glad I found a fellow rural homeschooling mom. I look forward to reading your future goings on. Heather I’m so glad I found your site, through the homeschool toolbar no less.
