We have a forest behind and to the side of the house, and it is full of
interesting flora and fauna, including foxes, raccoons, deer, et cetera,
and a deep, dry creek bed that dates back many thousands of years.
Almost any afternoon/evening, we have critters walking through the woods
behind the house and sometimes on the lawn.

We had all that when we lived in the north east. I was tired however
of driving 25 miles to a boat in Connecticut that I could only use 6
months of the year.

The critters in the back woods were fun to watch but they were also
fond of the plants and shrubs. Somewhere in the archives I have a
cute picture of a deer with my wife's freshly planted flowers hanging
out of both sides of its mouth.
