When mowing, I watch for the Frisbee and tennis balls that the dogs left, the praying mantis and toads that are escaping the steel blades, the trees still so small I can step over them, the droppings the horse deposited while grazing in the yard.
Beth's menagerie includes a flock of Katahdin sheep, Buckeye chickens, a llama, Haflinger horses, cats, and four Border collies, including a few that herd sheep. When Beth isn't outside watching the critters, she's writing, working, and convincing her husband that the animals aren't too much extra work.
In addition to all of those, i find myself watching for the honeybees on the white clover. Doesn't everyone do this?
