The sun is morning cool when I see a fox cross the road with food for waiting kits. I anticipate the day that I will see the complete family, children hurrying after their mother. And I always hope that they don’t run into a car. Every spring, I see the fox. I look for them. I watch the babies grow. When I walk by the cut bank, I know not to stick my arm in holes that seem empty. As a child, I would have wanted to hide treasures in them. Now, I know the treasures are already there, hidden. ...

This is so "Alison" and I love it. I feel bad for the wildlife in this area. There is so little understanding or concern for the animals we are displacing. Ida |

Yo dear Alison, This is very nice. It's always a good rule to keep your hands out of Fox holes, and the holes of other animals. I'm sure you know that. Here in Pennsylvania Fox are sometimes rabid. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (05-08-2008 09:39 AM).] |

It's a great nature moment, to watch those fast foxes run through horse pastures, then disappear into the woods. A bushy-tailed red mother fox has such a mysterious air about her! |
