Creatures on our door step!

This summer we found this baby bunny on our back door step it was so cute and so teeny! (It is next to a regular brick size paver in this photo to give you an idea of how teeny it really was.) Brin would point to it and say "aaaa coot!" It had an injured eye and we think it had been abandoned by it's mother.

Then a few days later we found a couple frogs on the back porch . . . . .

anyway it all made me start thinking of all the different creatures we have had LITERALLY on our doorstep, since we've been in this home! Where we live so close to the open dessert, there really have been quite a few. Here's a little list.

4 baby bunnies. + 1 in the garage (a couple weeks ago)
1 Tarantula
2 king snakes
4 LARGE Wolf Spiders (2 made it into the house when someone opened the door! egh!)
5 frogs
& COUNTLESS Lizards! (In the Garage ALL the time too!! One almost got in the house.)
We also have seen prints in the mud right out our back door, that we are pretty sure were javelina!

Anyway, I thought it was quite interesting to think back on, and who knows what may have been there that we just didn't see!
