Did I mention that I am a nature-lover?
(No - not "loving" in the all-together in the great-outdoors)
I mean I love wild birds, animals, and nature itself.
We live in a great place for me to persue these things, so often I'll add entries to my "nature notebook" about the sightings-of-the-day.

So ... today? A fox! trotting across the back yard, while we were getting ready to go to work. Beautiful! Red with black stockings and ears, incredible full red/grey tail. The fun part was that as we watched him (note: any animal or bird sighting is cause for all three of us to stop our morning preparations and glue ourselves to the windows for 15 minutes), he was "hunting" through the tall grass when his hunt uncovered a neighbors black-and-white cat! Well the cat chased the fox up the path and into the woods! Not exactly the outcome we would have expected!
i knew there was a reason i liked you! when out in the outback, we must have seen at least a million cattle--not kidding, at least a million. if not more (but not one single kangaroo, as i mentioned.) every time we drove by, though, i would look at them like it was the first time i had seen a cow, ever; checking out patterns, mostly looking for babies (also saw a fuzzy brown colt that made my day, and a ewe with two lambs about the size of roxie the wonderdog. so cute!)
so i too am a "stop for 15 minutes whenever anything non-human meanders by." them humans i can do completely without.
What's on your mind, if you will allow the overstatement?
