Wordless Wednesday

The visitor that has come now...

Well, in my new house for a bit over two months and all I can say is God loves sending us some friends! The day after we got here a very pregnant cat showed up. A week or so later she dropped kittens literally on my newly layed kitchen floor...SIGH... Her and her little babies as cute as they were found a lovely new home at the cat rescue. It was amazing to see that though. We have come across cool frogs we never saw in Indiana and even caught a sticky frog in my daughters bedroom. We have seen bugs we never saw and the biggest butterflies ever. I never realized how big they got LOL. A tree crashed through my roof and broke my lovely rule about nature staying outside. Grasshoppers longer than my finger. Nature is loud here in my opinion. I am still amazed a colony of ants brought down a huge tree. Another cat has showed up this one bearing a strange likeness to my own cat Little Bit except it is a girl. Nothing compares though to what we found in the barn today. A gopher tortoise. A big one too and if my research has paid off I know he is a he and he is also a protected species in these parts. Owning one of these hefty guys can get you a fine of up to 5,000. He will surely not become a pet. I will say my children are really liking the nature here though. We miss Indiana but we have seen some really cool stuff.
