Momma's Home!

There are moments in your life that will stick with you forever.  The birth of the boys, our wedding day and the day we moved into the forest are all among them.  The boys and the wedding are obvious.  The moving into the house is for different reasons.  

There is something to be said for getting back to nature.  Jeff and I joke at least once a week about selling the house.  It's too big.  The boys are never home.  The yard is too much to keep up with.  One more tree down in a wind storm and we swear we're out of here.

But days like today remind me of why we'll never leave.  There are things that we've experienced here that you would never get to do anywhere else.  We've watched coyotes chase deer through the yard.  I've watched a baby bird takes his (or her) first flight out of a nest.  We love them all....from the chipmonks to the carpenter bees.  But tonight, the bunny stole my heart.

I've been worried for days that I killed a nest of baby bunnies.  After yesterday (and Charlies yarn tip!), I was certain that Momma Bunny was coming back and caring for the little ones.  But tonight, I was lucky enough to witness it.  Momma fed them, cleaned them and covered them back up until morning.  The little ones are BEAUTIFUL!  I'm hoping that if I sit with my camera ready each day this week, I may get to see them leave the nest too.  It was amazing.  

And that's why I'll never leave the forest.
