Fox Kits May 5th - Still cute!

I am in Boston this weekend for a friends' wedding (yay!) but before I left I managed to upload 10+ minutes of adorable fox kits video from May 5th.

Unfortunately I was not able to video or photograph the foxes this week as it rained three days and the other day they were just not out. But I saw them around. Still cute!

Going to make breakfast, then rhubarb pie, then fly kies in the park.

Mom fox was trying to figure out who the heck I was. Also fox kits remain adorable.

May 1st Update

Well, I am still feeling kind of sick as I was last night--like I ate something with lactose in it by accident--and the weather is bad, and my grandmother is back in the hospital again this morning. And my grandfather is now in a long-term Alzheimer's care unit, which is where he probably will be for the rest of his life. It's good that he is getting the care he needs, because we and my grandmother can't do it for him, but it's sad to see my favorite grandparent like that.

But I hope I can get more fox video today.

Fox Kits April 30th

No video from yesterday, except about two uninteresting seconds of the world's fattest groundhog. The weather's been rather rainy here, and then my dad just had to mow the lawn at prime fox-gamboling time, and then by the time I got outside at dusk it was so dark the camera was having a really hard time focusing.

But I did see a little head peep out from around the den.

And I sat in the grass for an hour. I am beginning to think I have the makings of a naturalist.

Baby Foxes!

Today I am wearing my foxy socks, because last night I saw two fox kits tussling at the edge of my family's backyard; it seems they have denned under one of the storage buildings. Hopefully pictures to follow later if I am lucky and patient. Foxes!! BAAAABY Foxes!

In other news, my lettuce is sprouting already and my vegan oatmeal-raisin cookies are delicious.

Grandparents Update + Fox

A fox crossed the road in front of me today when I was driving home from helping out my grandparents. It was so beautiful; I hope I can see it again.

My grandparents are doing ok. My grandmother has been in rehab for a week and is slowly recovering her ability to walk and move without assistance. She's much more hopeful and happy. My grandfather is by turns forgetful and lucid, and got sick overnight last night, but otherwise seems as ok as a 9 year old man can get.

Much of my life the past month has been spent helping them out. I really appreciate your good vibes and if any of you would like to call or email me, I would really appreciate hearing directly from you. It's been tough and I need the support.
