Backyard jungle

Our backyard is teeming with wildlife. We have squirrels, cardinals, rabbits, frogs, worms, and Austrian ants as well as many birds that we can't identify. This frog was very close to Lucy's sandpit and I didn't notice him until Lucy tried to touch him and he leapt up in the air in fright. (Lucy then crawled over to him to get another touch) There are apparently lots of deer around here as well. The lawn is a bit of a disaster as it is full of weeds but Freedom Lawns is coming over in the next few days to give it its first treatment (one of many I am assuming). Then we can mow it a few days later. The neighbours seem to compete with one another about who has the best looking lawn. Whilst we are not going to get into that it will be nice to have it looking decentish as we are the ones in the street growing clover!
