Red Fox.
Not a great picture, but this guy totally took me by
surprise yesterday when I looked up from my knitting and
saw him trotting down the road!! I grabbed my camera and ran
outside in time to catch him walking down our driveway. As I turned
the corner around the shed, he was squatting there doing
his business!!

Found this 'guest' flying through the house yesterday morning.
Hubby grabbed the fish net, I grabbed the camera!



After an easy capture and release
he settled right down on the honeysuckle
to get a drink and rest.
A few hours later he was gone on his way.


I tell you this,
now is the time of the God's favor,

now is the day of salvation.
2 Cor. 6:2

Obviously the lime that Hubby sprinkled on the
tomatoe plants to help with the worm population
didn't work so well! Between yesterday and this morning
I have found 9 of these little guys!
So I picked them off and have them safely in my
big bug box. I honestly wasn't going to 'grow'
any worms this year! But I just can't seem to help myself!
