Magical Country

Rooster’s melody, wakes me daily, putting me in great mood. woodland creatures with cat food in mind, prance on my porch nightly. Raccoon slapping each other over crackers, left in yard by prissy grandchildren. Deer in a meadow of wild strawberries lean toward Happy yellow dandelions and lively purple-headed clover Magical faerie gardens and mushroom toad houses A haven for July’s dragonfly brigade Chatterbox bluejay takes turns with scarlet cardinals. Until the deer arrive, to bat feeders against trunk to eat food off the ground. Daily robin song announces cat creeping up steadily. Country sunshine, dew-covered grass, nothing like it.

You are lucky to have 'country sunshine', I wish I could wake up to roosters and have meadows of wild strawberries!

Those wild strawberries are what convinced us to buy this property as it opened up into a beautiful meadow with wild strawberries, clover, and Queen Anne's Lace.
