Surprises

1: The foxes are growing up. I hadn't seen them for a while and then one morning earlier this week they were out. It was so surprising to see how big they have become! I've not seem them all together lately though. And not seem the mother for over a week. And one was scratching -- mange -- *sigh*. So, I'm putting out a bit more medicine sandwich pieces. But who knows which ones are eating it. Last night, I saw one running around eating all of them. *sigh*



2: Well, now I know how my rosemary is getting broken. The foxes are big enough to jump up on low things. Including the big pot with the rosemary in it. Two were out, chasing each other around. First, she jumped over it. Cute. Next time, she hopped up on it and looked around before hopping off and racing around all the plants. Not so cute. *sigh* The rosemary will survive, it's creeping rosemary not the upright kind.

3: Despite the cold and wind and possibly even little bit of hail and bugs, my beans are developing blossoms. The runner beans are red, the French dwarfs are white with black spots. Surprise, Surprise.
