Wildlife galore this time of year

My yard has been filled with an abundance of wildlife these last few weeks, there has been an major explosion of rabbits, skunks, opossum, ducks and gophers and even a porcupine or two, my dogs hate to see critters in the yard and bark and whine like they’ve never seen such creatures when they are out there. We have had deer and foxes in the past, with the lake less than a mile away we get a bit more wildlife than most of the neighborhoods around here.

I remember about six years ago, I found a wounded dear in my backyard.  She stayed perfectly still and rested under the bushes for a few hours thinking she was totally out of site, and then she went running down the sidewalk and into the street, never to be seen again by these eyes of mine.  It is good to see the animals returning, very good.  It is a good sign too.

Hello world!

I am Raymond Whiteside, full blood of the Cherokee Nation. Educated in the white man’s schools. Fought for my country in the uniform of the U.S.Army, in a country far away where our enemy were easier to understand then were our so called allies. We should not have left. But those decisions were not made by men of war. Sort of brings the French Government to mind for some reason. Strange world we live in. Good thing I have a sense of humor. I”ll just say I married a white-eye, so you’d know I just kid a lot about you guys. After all, this is the 21st century and unless something drastically changes the worlds population, the Buffalo won’t be making any miraculous comeback. My wife looks like an Indian, but her people are of the French, and THAT, my friends, is FUNNY!
