The 4th has never been a holiday that my family celebrated, so it was a typical weekend for us. I did have a busy day, though. There was plenty of cleaning up from the peach effort, and then I drove to meet my L-friend for a bike ride. After that he dragged me along to a local reservoir because he had the chance to go water skiing. I have to give it to him - he's really good at it, and it was nice to be on the water for a while. Then dinner.
I just got back to my farm and checked in on all my critters. It's been like Wild kingdom at night here lately. Yesterday when I headed out for my nightly commute I had a skunk checking out the yard and a gray fox kit. Tonight, gray fox kit's mom was barking and carrying on at me. She seemed a bit too acclimated, so I chased her off. Twice. Every time I stopped, she turned around and barked at me again. I say bark, but it's s really strange noise that's nothing like z dog bark. Anyway, just when I thought she was gone, I went back to the coop to close up shop, and there she was again, watching me and vocalizing/antagonizing. Apparently gray fox have no fear whatsoever, and neither do skunks!
Anyway, a kind of crazy day. Time (past time, actually) to get to my sleep zone, since it's 2:35 am. Good night!
