Flashback Friday


Ok, our Mom used to live on a plantation i Charleston, S.C.and had her own horse business where she taught riding lessons to kids and adults and she boarded horses for other people and she had horse shows twice a year. She had lots of great experiences so we thought we would tell you about some of them. Hope we don't bore you too much. 
This is a Momma fox that dug a den very close the the house that she lived in while she was at this location for 20 years. The Momma fox raised a litter of foxes which was great fun to watch.
 These pictures are at least 25 years old so they are probably not the best but fun to see.
 There she is with her three children. The den was right next to a dirt road that went up to the main houses and one time they had a party, so Mom had to put up a sign on the road to go slow and watch for foxes playing in the road.
                         ******************* 
Happy Friday to all.
