Today I DID see something interesting... something rare... something I never thought I'd see in my life.
It was a 'POSSUM.
Not impressed yet?
It was ALIVE.
I didn't get a photo; you'll have to trust me.
Now, some of you might have noticed that I said I saw this today. Not this morning. Or this evening. Or last night. Today. It was about 1.30 pm. Mr. 'Possum did not run away from me.
Yup, looks like I saw a rabid possum.
I also saw a thing I have seen before, but I didn't think I would see in Texas:
A tree with leaves turning color! There must be a non-weather-related reason for this. Any ideas, people?
Also saw a Bald Eagle. It flew up out of some brush about 10 feet (or 0.01 kilofeet) away from me. That's pretty close, it turns out, when one is dealing with a bird that size. Like the 'possum, no photo. But I did get a photo of a golden spinner, finally:
They're pretty big spiders. 2-3 inches, with legs. They like to hang out fairly high up, so I can generally walk under them. Which I suppose means that most of the rest of you (who aren't my female relatives) would see them at eye level.
Dinner report: Gardenburger (original flavor) on a wheat bun (untoasted) with lettuce, tomato, and onion. And a beer.
