On of the joys each spring is to see new life all around me and it is no surprise at how excited I get when I see our local red fox appear with young kits. Last year we were treated to seeing the largest group yet-we had about 6-8 kits which is very unusual for a fox. This year mama didn't appear when I thought she would and although I saw signs of habitation, we didn't see any babies until yesterday. The pack is smaller this year with only three kits being seen and they are a tad bit older than last year when they made their appearance. You can see how mama is watching us as we take pictures. There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing wildlife and this is one of the treasures I hold close.
On another note, I think Americans are breathing a bit easier today with the announcement of Bin Ladens death. My heart still aches for those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and pray this might help heal their wounds. I don't think the war on terrorism is over by a long shot but it is a start.
Because of His grace,
Noreen
