About Fox Haven
Beau December 31st, 2006
This is a quiet and comforting place… with the sights and sounds of nature, the trees, the water, the animals… and of course the young boy that revels in running in circles chasing the dogs and cats, exploring and finding just the right wooden stick to carry with him. There are always enough sticks for the dreams of a young boy and his imagination. And as well, Fox Haven will always be a part of our dreams, those who have come before and those who continue this wonderous journey. Welcome!
Do you have enough blackberries to make a good cobbler? And do you still enjoy getting up early and going squirrel hunting like you did many years ago?
No, not enough blackberries! That’s probably my fault, the only good patch is on the edge of the dam and I keep cutting them back. But there’s hope at the top of the draw… a small patch has taken hold! I do remember a trip years ago with a friend… I took a 4-year old squirrel hunting a couple years ago too. Everywhere we walked he kept picking up sticks, and by the time we found a likely spot he had an armful! But it was very fun, and he was a real trooper. And it was more of a camping-hiking trip. Starting this year he may get to have a real outing.
Taking the 4 year old out and exposing them to the wonders of the natural world is much more fulfilling than the actual hunting trip. Let the blackberrieds grow and make some cobbler in a few years. Or transplant them to a better location and let them grow… Good to see you are being a good steward for your parcel of this earth.
