Our yard is a huge magnet for hundreds of creatures. Every summer we have more than the usual animals. This year is no exception. Here is a list of what I remember:
1 rabbit
1 stray cat
7 toads
tons of sparrows
a robin family (nesting in my Virginia Creeper)
Japanese bettles (what’s drawing all the sparrows)
2 cardinals
butterflies
bees
crickets and grasshoppers
squirrels
European Starlings
1 Mourning Dove
I think this is God’s way of bringing joy to my children. They love animals and want to care for each and every one. Seeing so many different ones is growing their nurturing skills and love for God’s creatures. May it continue…
