Our land is such a beautiful place. We have found so many lovely living things. Our fields seem to be almost 50% wild strawberries. We have found tiger lilies...Saskatchewan's provincial flower. We have also found more Saskatoon berries than a person could ever pick even if the season lasted all summer. Frogs everywhere. Garter snakes. Skunks! lol! And if you are real sneaky you can even spot Whitetails. We have a badger hole that might account for our lack of gophers, although we haven't seen him yet. We had a muskrat but he seems to have vanished. The wild ducks and dogs are getting along better now. The dogs have quit chasing and the ducks have calmed down. I think the part of nature that I dislike the most is the ants. They are a little out of control on the land and even took over our dingy. Although I do admire their perseverance. You can burn them, poison them, spray them and stomp them and they just come back like nothing happened. I flipped the dingy over 3 times showing them off to people and each time they would just collect the spilt eggs and start the colony over again. Within hours they would be back to normal. I find it to be very fascinating.
