"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Mr. Fox

Just popping on to record the terrible cell phone pics I captured this morning of the red fox that traverses our neighborhood.


A big litter of about 7 kits were born a few blocks up in the Spring.  They were so darling and we watched them grow.


Since we have no bunnies to worry about anymore, and no chickens in our yard, I love catching a glimpse of him.


 I'm really just suburb-living here, but after being raised in the city I am still like a little kid every time a deer, coyote, fox or hawk is seen in our forest.  I run to the window with the rest of my children and delight in these woodland creatures!


Happy Weekend!
