Wow how time flies when you are having fun, or working...whichever the case may be! Since last Thursday I have taken Ms. M out for an afternoon's worth of lunching, driving, and visiting. With the help of two of my siblings and our spouses, we've nearly completed the work at my parent's house, and are so close to being ready to put it on the market that I can almost taste it. Plus we had little Misty Belle spayed first thing Friday morning. Try keeping a herding dog quiet after surgery and you'll understand what my weekend has been like!!!
It has been a very busy few days, but oh so productive so I can't complain! And the weather...well it was spectacular with sunshine and high temps to remind me that it really is springtime!
Like millions of other people I ventured outside to see the "big" bad moon as it was rising last night. Picture it, me with my trusty tripod all settled in on the dock ready to capture this very cool moon rising over the water...
First there were lots of Canada Geese flying by, and I even saw a river otter who got very close, swimming withing feet of me before he turned and went the opposite way, and then all he% broke loose!
I've mentioned before that I hate bats...well guess who showed up?! But I was good, I said to myself, hey he's eating the bugs, it's all good and I began focusing on the moon again and how lovely the trees and branches looked silhouetted in front of it.
Just about then I heard some rustling in the reeds along the water's edge and I could just make out something white working it's way towards me. I said shoo, but it just kept coming, so then I yelled SHOO, as it kept coming closer. That was when I grabbed my tripod and hightailed it back into my yard as the critter ran under the dock along the shoreline. It was "the" skunk, the one who made Mr. Quinn's acquaintance not long ago, and I'm just thankful that it chose to ignore me instead of spraying me AND my camera equipment.
So there are no pictures of the moon reflected on the water, just the bad moon rising from my back patio!
