Night Visitor
Last night, as I was shutting everything, getting ready to hit the sack, Mr Spot, the lunatic black cat from hell, started going bonkers. Jumping up and down in the window sill, trying to dig through the glass to get something outside. This is actually normal behavior for him. I wish I had a video camera….it’s quite entertaining actually. He must weigh at least 14 pounds, and to see him jump 5 feet trying to capture whatever it is that catches his attention, is much better than anything on the idjit box. Sometimes, we think he’s hallucinating.
I had already turned off the outside lights, so couldn’t see what was getting him so excited. Sometimes, he’ll do that if there is another cat out there looking for handouts, so I took the dry food out, expecting to see the one I call Stubby, milling around. Nope. No kitty, but Mr Spot was still jumping up and down, generally having a conniption.
I’m looking all around, seeing nothing, until I actually looked at the window. There it was! The ‘bain’ of Mr Spot’s existence…this time.
Mr Frog was seriously not caring about Mr Spot’s antics!
We really do need to look into getting a video camera!

We Need a Fence!
As I have mentioned before, I really LOVE living out in the middle of Podunk, TN. This is a great area, with mostly terrific folks. Who are NOT ‘terrific folks’? I’d say those people who don’t give a flying flip about their pets. You KNOW they are someone’s pet because they have collars on ‘em.
Case in point - Hispanic Rat Dog!
See? Collar. And no, I did NOT put out food for this semi rat canine. He just happened to show up while I was out there pulling weeds. I will admit, I do leave a bit out for the cats (and possums) that come around, but dogs? I don’t think so!
You see, I’m of the mind…if you have a dog, and you live near a highway…you FENCE that dog. I’ve seen way too many squished dogs around here, and it seriously chaps my hide!
Now, I do not want a fence so we can get a dog. I want an appropriate type fence to keep Mr Hispanic Rat Dog, and his friends……OUT! Hmm…..perhaps with a little razor wire, a land mind or two, or some such to discourage that peacock invader too? 
I like this kind of visitor MUCH better:
I got the impression this guy was doing some kind of mating dance, but I had to turn him down. Not really my type. It was kind of cool to watch though.

Lions and Lambs?
Not exactly, but darn close!
You may have seen it before, but it’s worth watching again.
Thanks to brother in law Tom.

Birdy
While sitting here, drinking my coffee, spending more hours than necessary, sitting on my hind end, perusing the internet, I happened to look up and see one of my favorite type birds flap by. I LOVE birds of prey. Now, I don’t know if this is a hawk or what, but it sure was cool to watch. Shoot, I’m lucky I know that a robin is a robin. I don’t need to know their names, I just like ‘em.
So, he/she sits there for a bit, eying the surroundings. Swoops down to the ground, takes off. I go back about my business, look up, and there he/she is!
Ain’t that a hoot! I love the country! I just wish there was a way to get pictures like this without all the window screen lines included. sigh… Oh well, back to ‘normal’ life now. My excitement for the day is over.

New Hilda Pic
Blech! Ok, let’s face it, cell phones aren’t the best way to take pictures of, uh….such creatures.
Well, each to their own I reckon, and this is the Mr’s new friend. Who am I to question? Well, I AM the wife. Should I be jealous he’s spending so much time with Hilda?

The Mr Shares His Lunch
Ok, so maybe a skink isn’t exactly what most folks would have for lunch, but hey….I reckon the Mr thought watching his ‘girlfriend’ Hilda, the Black Widow munch down would be a nice way to share ‘country’ with Short Person.
Either that’s a fairly small lizard thingy, or a rather large spider. Hmmm….
Whatcha think the odds of SP spending time out in Grandpa Ol’ Broad’s man cave are gonna be when she comes to visit? Better question: What are the odds of ME spending time out there any time soon?
Blech!

Cow escapee found ‘hiding’ in drain
One of two cows which fled an abattoir in northern France was found ‘hiding’ in a drain. It was rescued – from the drain, at least, if not the abattoir.
I gotta wonder. How the heck did it get DOWN there?
