We're often reminded of how far from town we really live -- when you need milk and the store is 20 minutes away or when the power goes down for several days. We're not remote and we may have many luxuries, but this is "the country".
But nothing could be more awakening then waking up yesterday morning to a mountain lion standing at your kitchen door. Well, that's what happen to our neighbor - fortunately he took several great pictures of the mother lion and her two cubs. Last night we went over to see the lions (having not had our fill from the National Zoo last week). And just as the sun was setting the mother was eating on the Deer remains from her kill Saturday and what a treat it was to watch. Again, our neighbor took some great pictures.
And this morning another reminder, outside our bedroom window, we spotted one of the Lynx (similar to a Bobcat) in the field next door. This beautiful animal is nice enough to hunt the gophers and other small mammals living in the field.
