About Garden & Nature
Just past the tree line, the woods hold a world most of us only glimpse — a white tail flashing between oaks, a fox pausing at the edge of a meadow, a chipmunk stuffing its cheeks with acorns before the first frost. Opossums shuffle along low branches after dark, and rabbits freeze in the underbrush, perfectly still, certain you haven't seen them. These animals live on the seam between the wild and the familiar, which may be why they feel so much like neighbors.
