I LOVE the wild life that is emerging this spring.
My back door must have a big WELCOME sign that only wild creatures can see.
During the winter the baby muscrat made a brief home in the steps at the back door.
Since the frogs have emerged I haven't opened the back door without seeing 2+ frogs on the door jam.
I went to let the dogs out tonight and I noticed a tail. I thought at first the crazy biting muskrat was back...but upon closer look...a salamander.
Yesterday morning the girls woke up to frogs in the tub (stupid me...no pictures) as I gathered some up for them for closer inspection.
Tomorrow morning a salamander.
Before I know it they will be expecting a creature surprise every morning.

Gotta love nature!
Just as long as you don't end up with a stinky visitor!!!
The Salamanders are such funny cute little things aren't they? My crew love lifting the big stones to find them!
We keep finding the frogs up on the porch. Its when we are mowing the grass that we worry about them as they sometimes aren't fast enough to get out of the way of the mower - so we go around and fill buckets with them first in the summer - last year was a wonderful year for frogs - the year before not so good - I hope this year is a good year for them despite the low water levels everywhere.
How cool to wake up every morning and have all that nature at your door step!
Beats the puddle the stray tomcats spray on my back door...
Oh, I'm so envious. I would love to be living in the country.
Sounds exciting! :) Salamanders are neat....we found a big one in the garden last year! I was a little freaked out as it surprised me while I was digging my potatoes....LOL, hopefully your wildlife doesn't start coming to the door and asking for food...;)
