I woke up this morning to people shouting “hounds need to be unleashed – kill it! Kill it!”
Apparently there has been
another cougar sighting.
The
sighting was in the upper hills of Longview – I drive this route sometimes when
I want to avoid downtown traffic.
This is reported to be a
third sighting … probably the same one seen in different locations of the area.
Maybe. The cougar seems to mysteriously disappear into thin
air: yet the video background remains the same. The cougar is in the
frame – then {poof!} it’s out of the frame; suspiciously.
While I will
agree that cougars (I have
actually seen a cougar in the wild, slink across the road in front of our
pickup and fade into the roadside foliage: it was beautiful!) will melt
into the background as if they had never been there at all – they do not
just walk into a hidden time warp window; as this one seems to do.
The cougar could really
exist.
Or …
But whatever the
truth of the matter may be, it
does not deserve to have hounds set on it: it can be captured and released.
If it’s the real deal, it’s no doubt a yearling looking for a
place to habitate. It does not deserve to die simply because humans keep
pushing themselves into wildlife habitats.
People that choose
to live in forested areas, choose to live with the wildlife there … and
they need to work with it. MPO
I jetted off a few comments,
and got off of FB – you simply cannot talk common sense with bloodthirsty hysterics.
I was going to Fellowship
this morning, and picking a friend up along the way. I wore my red-white-&
blue skirt to honor the 4th of July Holiday, tomorrow – and the only
top I had in my closet that was “workable”. I wasn’t really happy with the
outfit, but it was what it was. Workable.
Skirts are not my friend, no
matter what top I wear with them. I do what I can with what I have to work with
(clothing items and physical shape), and hope for the best.
When I pulled into my friend’s
driveway, I spotted a doe in her front yard.
She told me she saw three
bucks walk through her front yard the other day, and we had a good laugh when I
and said her yard must be a deer thoroughfare, like the sky over my house is a
geese freeway 😉
Fellowship was enjoyable. And
I’ll be enjoying a 4th of July Celebration in the country tomorrow 😊
After I got back home this
afternoon, I changed my clothes and watered the garden area. It seems like no
matter what I pulled out of the closet to put on today, it was {workable}, but
not appealing on the body. But, what are you gonna do – except roll with it.
It is what it is.
Finished with the veggie bed
area, I watered the front flowerbeds as well as the hanging planters along the
carport eaves. And I noticed that one of the cacti pads I had repotted in May, had
babies popping up 😊
This is exciting to me because
I have never tried this with cacti pads before; it’s a good feeling of
accomplishment when something new prospers 😉
Back inside, I got busy
making little vest & beanie sets for premature babies. This is a volunteer
work close to my heart: a friend in high school had a premature baby girl (1-pound,
6 ozs.: grew up to be normal sized, and is still thriving) my younger
brother and his wife had a premature baby girl (just barely longer than a
Barbie Doll, with a little head the size of a tennis ball); Jamie Lee grew
up … and is no longer ‘little’ in any sense of the word.
These little things make up
very quickly, and they are perfect for the babies who have to stay incubated
until they are physically strong enough to go home – they are tiny warming
items of loose clothing that work great in helping these little babies stay
warm; and help the parents keep hope alive, when they see their little bundles
of love wrapped in items that have some semblance of baby clothing appeal …
while not complicating the tangle of life sustaining tubes, ect. I am glad I
found this pattern online 😊
So far, this week has gotten
off to a good start; now I’m going to do a load of jeans: I have lots of tops
in the closet that work perfectly with those 😉
