“Ask a toad what beauty is, the supreme beauty, the to kalon. He will tell you it is his lady toad with her two big round eyes coming out of her little head, her large flat snout, yellow belly, brown back.” ~Voltaire
Mourning Dove
Mourning doves sitting in the pine trees behind our house. I like to hear the sorrowful cooing, which is both sad and comforting.

Garter Snake
This snake recently found its way into our yard. Our dogs were pretty inhospitable towards it, and eventually, it slithered away. I love my dogs.

Crawdad Mounds
These little mud towers can be seen in the moist ditches along the road. As burrowing crawfish dig holes, they bring mud balls up to the surface and form these earthen chimneys. Sorta makes you want to break out in song…

“The daisy’s for simplicity and unaffected air. ~Robert Burns
Baby cows
“There’s nothings like sitting back and talking to your cows.” ~Russell Crow

One of my favorite wildflowers along our country road. It’s really beautiful at this time of the year.
