When my son & daugh in law built they even had to have their house numbers set in the brick on the front of the house. They did have a nice spot across the street from wetlands so saw lots of wildlife. Not as pretty as your backyard Henry. They moved back home and are hoping to buy a small acerage. In north central Iowa we don't have as many areas that look like yours. We live on the edge of a small town and we have deer visit once in a while, wild turkeys like our pond and we have had a blue heron eat all our goldfish. Other wise it is mostly bunnies, frogs, gophers, possum and raccoon. rarely a skunk will visit- thank heavens it is rarely. Love your curtains by the way, are you going to show the bed covering?
