Our house in Oklahoma has five acres of woods behind it, and this year, we took down the privacy fence that separated our property from those woods. Our big project has been cleaning up the area behind that fence (various people have dumped all kinds of stuff back there, and we really wanted to open it, clean it and get to enjoy the Spring green and other nature that comes from those woods).
So in between school and work, we've been out there on the weekends (spring is Oklahoma's most gorgeous season, just beautiful weather). We were out there this weekend cleaning up remaining leaf piles and planting lilies, daffodils and onions just to grow in the woods, and we found a true treasure .... a family of three-toed box turtles.
Ollie was hiding in a leaf pile. We found Gingy this morning, so named because he has a flaming red head.
We have awesome other wildlife, too, including a Mama possum that Dante saw creeping along the backyard with her six possum babies riding on her back!
Oh, and the fox that we've caught sleeping in our bamboo garden...too cute!
