My Favorite Place to Hang Out

I love sitting in the swing overlooking the patio and next to the creek. I like to say that Matt built it for me. It's very romantic that way.

So Much Joy

Black Rascal Creek runs through my backyard and is an attraction for all sorts of animal life. My backyard is always filled with animal sights and sounds. I've seen raccoons, coyote, skunk, herons, egrets, hawks, hummingbirds, bullfrogs, and foxes right up on my lawn. For the past few mornings several mallards and grebes have gathered early in the pre-dawn hours calling to each other. This creek and the animals that come to visit, is one of my favorite things about my life. In this picture two mallards are just going around the corner away from me. When Matt went out to BBQ our dinner this evening, 12 ducks flew off from the creek.
