Observations/Thoughts
- Armadillos last stand: The armadillo must have decided the dining was still best where he did his last foraging. After a day off, he came back to where the grubs were best. He was looking desperately for the high eating of earlier in the week. The holes were shallow here–he (or was it she) will hopefully find the grub “mine” to get a little meat on those bones.
- Gloves: During yesterday’s windy weather, there was not much to see. The fellow walkers were non-existent. During the last half of the walk, I noticed a glove lying in a yard. I thought some poor fool has a cold hand. Then, about a quarter mile later, I saw the gloves match. I considered picking up the second glove with the hopes of maybe grabbing the other glove tomorrow. Today, the weather was more pleasant with only a couple more participants in any form of exercise today. When I cleared the half-way mark, the first glove was still there. I grabbed it without hesitation. Was the other glove still ahead? After searching every yard in anticipation of the pair being reunited, I found the glove in the ditch of a house previously populated with a number of chickens. I shoved both gloves in my pocket. I felt like I had a little secret I was hiding. Once I got the gloves inside my house, I could finally claim the gloves as officially mine.
