Country Living?

I always joke that we live out in the country, but after the things that have been going on around our neighborhood I'm beginning to think that we really do. Over the summer, we had a flock of turkeys living in the neighborhood. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Mr. Cash and I heard howling right behind our fence around 9 pm. It was so close that we put the doggie door in so the dogs couldn't go out. Mr. Cash said that there was a coyote that's been hanging around. Last night, we were coming home and the coyote ran right in front of our car. We also have a young buck that has made our neighborhood his territory. He is not afraid of people or dogs at all, in fact he will go right up to the people to be petted. Some people have been feeding him, which is taming him even more. He is out all of the time, day or night, and will walk right up to the front door of houses.
Here he is around 1:00 this afternoon in our neighbors yard across the street, notice his rather big antlers. He likes to eat the landscaping flowers and plants. Some people are trying to get him moved so I'll keep you updated.

School Projects

School is now in full swing for the kids so it was just a matter of time before one of them had a project due. Joo was the first one this week. She/we had to make a posterboard look like her, write what color her hair and eyes were on one arm and her birthday and age on the other arm. On the body and legs she had to draw a picture of her family and what she likes to do.

Here is the final product. We think it turned out great. Both kids are really enjoying school, though Min had a bit of adjustment going from "little kid" second grade to "big kid" third grade. After a talking to from mom and dad, he has done a better job.
