Welcome to Bugs and Brooms!

Since we moved into our house which is relatively ‘out in the country’ (we are about 10 miles from town), we have been bombarded with wildlife.  Most of these creatures have been welcome and have brought some great pleasure to our new home.  This includes the multitude of bird species, deer, and entertaining squirrels.  But we have also had a lot of unwelcome critters.  These include roaches, ticks, mice, squirrels, and snakes.  Don’t get me wrong, I am fully aware that I am really the visitor in this habitat but it has become a disturbing trend in our daily lives when these animals move into our house with us! 

We are very close to the lake - it is just off the bank, so the wildlife have a great place to call home.  Big, open fields, dense forests, and an abundance of water.  I like it here too.  The flowers have been lovely this spring, especially the flowering trees.  But, I must confess, our so-called ‘farm life’ has some serious drawbacks!  Hopefully, we can adjust and find a great balance!  Check out some of these stories……
