I was really hesitant about what my new home would be like. But after talking with the station's Ombudsman and finding Middletown's homepage on the World Wide Web, I made up my mind to make the best of the situation and to find all the good things in my new hometown. And there has been plenty to discover. Because I've been a big-city girl all my life, I'm still in awe at the wildlife that I see everyday. Deer with fawns regularly walk in my backyard.
Hummingbirds swarm the feeder.
A gray fox came up on my front porch looking for something to feed her kits. A family of skunk almost got surprised one night by my black and white cat. Wild pigs and suicidal ground squirrel run around the ranches. Many varieties of birds of prey circle overhead and bald eagles live by Clear Lake. Most of my East Coast friends agreed that things couldn't get much better than the concert at the local vineyard.
