I have a real-live Dusty sticking to the outside screen in my window, watching me work. I'll try to get a picture! I'm dying to open the window up a little more, cos' it's warm in here, but I don't want to disturb him!

OH! I get it now! I guess your Dusty doesn't want to nap in a bed of flowers. ;)

He just left for the races! Must have been resting up or something!

I'll tell you one thing, he was a lot less scary than the coyote that came walking through my back yard while I was sitting on the deck yesterday afternoon!!!!!

I don't think I've moved that quickly in some time! :lol:

Was it Wile E. Coyote? ;)

HA!

He/She was beautiful, actually.

I love coyotes, but from a much farther distance. Going by the stairs to the deck was a little too close for comfort! I don't even think he/she realized I was there until I scrambled!

There's a great book called The Daily Coyote, about a woman who is raising one out in the midwest for any animal lovers out there! I highly recommend it!

That explains his rest period on my screen! He did look kind of tired!

There were actually quite a few of them hanging around here yesterday later in the afternoon.
