[FONT=Arial][COLOR=purple]In the 10 years we've lived in Broadstone, we've seen our share of snakes, heard coyotes and seen the geese fly overhead regularly. One time we even saw a mother duck and her babies walking down the street. That was topped today when we saw an otter walking across our neighbor's driveway. He had been complaining of fish in his pond disappearing and finding raccoon type tracks. Another neighbors drain keeps being popped off. I think it's coming through a drainage system from one of the refuge areas. Can anyone top that ? usa.gif

I was walking along a bike trail near Verizon Wireless off Folsom Blvd. and I spotted a turtle on the side of the trail. It was pretty awesome! :D:

I have seen hares, ducks, wader, and even a deer.

Are there many rattle snakes in the Broadstone?
I loved to walk along the bike trails after working out at the gym, but my neighbour told me that it might nt be save.

Have anyone seen a rattle snake in Folsom?

Yes Lena, there are rattlesnakes in Folsom, but if you walk along the bike trails then I don't see any problem with the snakes.

Are you talking about the Broadstone Racquetball Club?

You saw deer in Broadstone area? Wow..... Where in particular?

I had a snail go across my driveway... oh, I also have a cat, so that must be wildlife too. Also, they'res these really annoying birds that chirp in the morning by my window. It's a shame we live in the city limits.

Not in Broadstone but in Natoma Station.
Coyote seen on several walks in the very early morning and their crys at night. Sure keeps the cat population down laugh.gif although our dogs go crazy when they hear it.

Another great  day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

What is a Purple Nurple? I've never heard of it. Is it a bird? (It actually sounds like a character from a Dr. Seuss book.)

No offense meant, but here are a couple of definitions from the net:

1.purple nurple

The unexpected squeezing and twisting of the nipple on a friend. Results in your nipple (nurple) turning purple.

Nathan decided to give his pappy a purple nurple. But pappy was too fast and now, Nathan has a purple nurple.

2. it is also a drink

3. it is an artwork

Google has lots of references

Thanks, clearwater. blush.gif -- Never heard that phrase before.

Better that I learn the definition on our friendly forum. Now, if I hear the phrase from one of the 12-yr-olds at my son's school, I will not be in the dark.
