Enough of Nature

Oh, I had to tell you about a couple of instances that happened this week that kinda cracked me up! I love being outside. Since moving into my new home, I have found a few times to get out and work in the yard. The other day I was planting flowers, when I heard this clicking sound behind me!!! What in the world!

As I turned around, just a few feet from me was a baby squirrel, literally screaming at me. I looked at him and gave him a simple, "hello." He kept clucking at me. And he kept coming towards me. Now, one isn't normally afraid of such small creatures, but this guy was serious about something. He slowly went around me, deciding I was too big to take on. But then as I bent over to plant my flower, he came towards me again, trying to tell me something. Later, I wondered if I had just planted my flower over his stash of nuts. Poor guy!!! And I just didn't get it.

Later that night as I was sitting outside talking with my best friend on the phone, I casually glanced over into my neighbor's yard. There rounding the patio just a few feet from me was a skunk! Yeah, I was grossed out! Let's just say I slowly and quietly made my way to the house. No smelly messes for me that day!

I guess I could share one more. :)

As I was walking around my neighborhood the other day I passed a gated house. Nice house. Nice Yard. Cute dog in the nice gated yard. A Pug! Cute little pug thought he was big stuff though. As I passed by, he came running and growling at me. Should I have been afraid? For his self-esteem, yes. However. All I could think of was, "you stupid little dog, I could squish you by stepping on you. But keep barking!"

What is up with these little guys with big attitudes! (As If I Am One To Talk! )
