New friends

Our temporary "home" has brought us many new friends.  A gaggle of Hackberry Emperor butterflies dance around my shoulders when I walk along the wooded path.  Golden Garden Spiders spin webs on the junipers and over our camper and trailer.  One brave little squirrel is stalking me today while I write and Sage and Folsom nap.  My new scorpion friend hung around the sink in the women's bathhouse for two days before I remembered to tell David.  He liberated the poor guy last night.  Aside from very curious wood ants, there really are not a lot of pesky pests.  The ants do not sting, unlike their saucy cousins the fire ants.  So, really, they are just minor annoyances.  And, of course, the ducks love Sage.
