One coyote on a trail at the Wilderness Center. One moose eating willow twigs along the roadside. One white tail deer watching me from an open field. One hawk sitting on top of a light post. Low fog covering the water on the lake. This is what I saw on the way to work this morning.
I haven't had time to venture out to the trails but there is no shortage of wildlife sightings on the way to or from work. The drive might be 20-25 minutes long but it is relaxing and scenic. In fact, when I see the city skyline in the distance, I feel my hands tighten around the steering wheel and I see my knuckles turning white. I could never live in the city again.
I still have one cubic yard of black dirt to spread in the yard and bedding plants to put out. Those chores will have to wait for another few days when I actually have more than a half hour to spend outside. Until then, I'll enjoy the sunrises, the sunsets and all the scenery in between on my travels to and from work.
