Back After A While--Coyotes in Arizona

It's a while since I have been blogging--but the good thing about stopping blogging is that all my loyal readers complain and press me to get going again. I have determined not to be a slave to any blog--hence the absence.

Then I forgot the user name and the password so I had to get Cheryl to tell me all over again what they were. Then I spied the very same blog info in my phone book--duh!!!!!

But I am determined to get to the coyote! Still, I must mention in passing is that Jeff and Veronique are moving soon into a different house! That will probably be another blog--but as to that coyote, well it was this way.

While in California, we headed off to see Jim Sellers (the singer of Nakamun camp fame) and his new wife. We have been longtime friends and knew his first wife Mary Jane very well. She has been gone for a while, so now Jim is remarried to Millie. Well, after spending the night with the Sellers, we wakened for a lovely breakfast--looking out into their Arizona Room which just happened to be nicely screened. As nature ordered it, there were a couple of rabbits out there running hither and thither as rabbits do.

Suddenly, the fox, er, coyote appeared. It was totally intent on the rabbit smells still wafting through the garden of sand, gravel, cactus and fruit trees. Soooo, it didn't pick up the human smell at all, though we, all four of us, were watching the coyote intently all the time.

All this happened in the heart of the suburbs of Phoenix--so now I know why their hockey team is called the Coyotes! And, yep, the rabbits got away.
