Peeking out the back gate, what will I find?

The boy in the yellow shirt is SnakeMaster, happy to be exploring his new environs.
This park is a huge bonus for living here. SuperDad & I walk in it nearly every morning before breakfast.
I’m told it blooms profusely with wildflowers in the springtime.
There is wildlife here.
We’ve heard reports of deer and coyotes being regulars in the park, and even –once, a long time ago– a moose!
My nose alerts me to nightly skunk activity (okay, that isn’t such a great thing).
Because of the coyotes, we are making sure the cats are in at dark. Cleopatra isn’t sure this rule should apply to her, but she has been mostly in compliance (so far).

Each Monday, I plan to post photographs and a bit of writing about where I live. There is plenty to explore, and I will enjoy sharing my new hometown with you.
I’ve seen a meme on other blogs called My Town Monday — although I’m not sure if it is still active as a weekly meme. Unofficially, that is what I am calling this series.
Enjoy!
Great open space!
oh looking forward so much to seeing and learning more about your new home.
Holy cats, heaven, huh?
Looks like a great place to go wandering (well, except for the skunks…..)
Will love to come here on Mondays. You are lucky to have such a “BIG back yard”. 🙂
Looks like you’re going to be enjoying this space and consequently, so will we. Win/win!
Seems to me you have beaten me as far as ‘great back-yard’ is concerned… I’m happy for you!
It is fun to see the landscape at eye level rather than at bird’s eye level on mapquest. I like the new blog name. Hugs from me.
I’m sure it will be stunning in spring.
What time is breakfast now? I know you used to get up at o’dark thirty to make your husband’s breakfast.
holy cow! that’s amazing!! so gorgeous – i can’t wait to see it in sprin, too.
er.. sprinG.
Wow – that open space looks wild and exciting! Love the flowers too.
Yay! That’s a fine backyard extension. I can’t wait to see more.
