| Other Critters |
When you live in the woods by yourself, you might fall into the mistake of thinking you are alone. While you may not be surrounded by members of the same specie as are the denizens of New York, instead you are sharing your neighborhood with Bobcats, O'possum, frogs, turtles, bunnies, woodchucks squirrels, chipmunks and more birds than you can imagine. In the Summertime the 'hood becomes overrun by grasshoppers & crickets of a thousand variations, The Cicadas have their time in the sun and produce Operas that run 24 hours a day. The hustle and bustle are to such a degree that you might think you are living right on times square. Heck we even have the flashing lights of fireflies!
That said, you will find some of the locals in these pages. Welcome to our neighborhood.
