Good morning! It’s Thursday, and we have our answer! Yesterday, at precisely three ripples past an acorn (or thereabouts), I glanced out the window and identified the source of those delicate paw prints. Ralph is back!
The whimsy in these stories makes my heart so glad. I haven't got 40 acres back there, but only 4. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping to retire from teaching this year, so that I can start appreciating all the life that I know is happening on the back 4 outside of my awareness. In the meantime, these posts keep me going. Thank you so much.
Oh, I so love a fox! They're so beautiful. And it wasn't until I watched the oldish BBC procedural Midsomer Murders that I learned about their calls--otherworldly.
Which episode was that bit of info in?? I have seen every episode of Midsomer and I only remember 1 that had a fox hunt in it but I don't remember a that info in it. Please. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Awww I love Ralph!! I think foxes are so cool. I used to love seeing them when I was doing archaeological surveys on San Clemente Island. Plus the time I went to San Juan Island for Cat Bordhi’s knitting retreat my friends and I were exploring the island and came across this beautiful plateau that reminded me so much of San Clemente Island and suddenly out popped a black fox.
How handsome. We used to have a fox that came to our back sliding glass door and taunted our cats. It was pretty funny. I haven't seen him for awhile so it was nice to see Ralph.

Ralph is a beauty! His relative was barking under my window at 3 am last night. A first. Perhaps he/she will return.
How beautiful. You live in such a place of wonder. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Ralphie is utterly awesome. Looks particularly dashing against the snow. Nice picture !!
I love that you have spotted him again! Lucky you!
😮 OMGosh! He is gorgeous! What a treat❣️

Ahhhh, at last! He's a handsome one!
Ralph is such a handsome fellow, and I’m sure he takes his job very seriously. Your magical tales are such a lovely way to start the day.

Ah the mystery is solved! What A beautiful visitor!
Ralph is one handsome dude.
Ralph or Junior—what a brush!
I’ve yet to see a fox in the wild. Bobcats, coyote, possums aplenty here in SoCal so the Ralph sighting thrills me.
And what a magnificent fluffy tail he sports ! Handsome for sure !
