we noticed a robin had set up a little nest above our door. so every morning we get a 'hello' from her as we leave the house. she likes to sit on the roof and chirp at us until we leave. this weekend we noticed three little beaks peaking out over the side of the nest. it was cute at first...until our porch became their bathroom.
the animal fun doesn't stop there. duben found, and rescued, some frogs out in our front yard a few months ago. he was quite worried whether they would make it or not. just last night after the storm we found a slightly bigger frog jumping in our driveway. i told duben is was his rescued frog...it was a good reuinion for him.
earlier that day duben was pulling weeds in the back of the house when he discovered what he thought was a mouse. he was about to say goodnight to the little guy when he realized the mouse had large ears....and that it wasn't a mouse but a bunny....and not just one bunny, but five little baby bunnies all curled up together. they were cute and oh-so little. we covered them up and let them stay in our yard until they were ready to venture off with the other rabbits.
and last, but not least...my favorite animal of them all. after duben has his frog reunion we were checking out the sky from our backyard. we noticed something running along the bushes by the stream. at first we thought it was a cat or a rabbit, but it was moving a little slower. then we thought maybe a possom...as we looked closer we realized we had an armadillo running through our yard! this is extraordinary for many reasons. first, i've never seen an armadillo before...not many running through california. and second, when you do see armadillos....they're on the side of the road dead. so to see a real live armadillo running through our yard was fantastic!
those are all of our animal friends for now. hopefully they stay friendly and stay outside of the house.
