Wildlife

Recently my husband took me to photograph some baby foxes. While on our trip, we tried to sneek up on some other wildlife in the area.

Blessed

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Signs of Spring

Four Little Foxes

Lew Sarett

Speak gently, Spring, and make no sudden sound:

For in my windy valley, yesterday I found
New~born foxes squirming on the ground-
Speak gently.

There weren't exactly 4, and they weren't new born. Actually, they are just about ready to leave their mother!

My husband took me North a little ways to see and photograph some baby foxes and their mother. They were so cute. They are living in a rock wall at a camp that he built. It is currently getting some remodeling from another contractor and these "kits" are are comfortable with the construction taking place around them.

Mother keeps a close eye on things though!!














One of the babies finally realizes we are there!

It doesn't seem to deter them from their "play time"

I couldn't help thinking about my chickens!!

Doesn't the fox on the right have its tail shaped like a question mark?

I really wanted to go home and close the chicken coop door!!

They are really cute, aren't they?

Mother decided, "Enough play for now, time to learn to hunt!"

100% Whole Wheat Rolls

I made these rolls yesterday. I am trying to incorporate more whole grains into my diet. These rolls are 100% whole wheat with no white flour, no sugar and are made with olive oil ! I need to make these one more time before I post the recipe. (I didn't measure my flour)

They came out light and fluffy!

Salty Fix

I have found on this diet that I need my craving's satisfied and this one fixes that salty potato chip craving. I am big on bold flavors. This was an experiment, and next time I will have to perfect the amounts. For now this is what I did.

1 1/2 Cups of Walnuts

1 1/2 Cups of Almonds

4-5 Tbl. of "Braggs Liquid Amino's"

cayenne pepper

I mixed these up really well giving the Amino's time to cover each almond or walnut, then I dumped them onto a baking sheet in a single layer, and added a sprinkle of Cayenne pepper. Bake at 250 for 20-30 min. stirring twice.

These did taste really good, but next time I think I would add maybe a little more bragg's and defiantly more cayenne! You can add what ever seasoning to suit your taste buds.
