Here is a short video of the bobcat family that has decided to live on the roof of the house across the street. Good thing no one is living in that house....
I remember seeing a bobcat in our neighborhood in Phoenix way back when we lived there. At least I think it was. It was too big for a house cat, but I didn't really feel like investigating.
Wow. We used to get bobcats in our back yard. While they are so gorgeous and the babies so cute, they'll eat your housepets in no time flat without so much as a thank-you-very-much.
Yes. Across the street. My husband walked over and told the neighbors next to the bobcat house and warned them...They'll keep a close eye on their kids. Our dogs are bigger than the bobcats, but we go outside with them anyway. It is so cool, and so disconcerting at the same time....
Wow! Yes, cool but disconcerting; I'm with you there. I love seeing the occasional coyote where we live, and I always remind people that they lived here before we did.
I know a bleeding-heart plant that has thrived for sixty years if not more, and has never missed a spring without rising and spreading itself into a grassy bush, with many small red hearts dangling. Don't you think that deserves a little thought? The woman who planted it has been gone for a long time, and everyone who saw it in that time has also died or moved away and so, like so many stories, this one can't get finished properly. Most things that are important, have you noticed, lack a certain neatness. More delicious, anyway is to remember my grandmother's pleasure when the dissolve of winter was over and the green knobs appeared and began to rise, and to cre- ate their many hearts. One would say she was a simple woman, made happy by simple things. I think this was true. And more than once, in my long life, I have wished to be her.
There a few elements of life common to all people. Basically they include living, loving, suffering, and dying. All of us experience these aspects of life. The quality of them we may describe as good or not so good. Regardless these elements of life form who we are in deep and profound ways. Gathered here today we celebrate all of these. We celebrate the life of Lynn, wife, mother, sister, daughter, niece, cousin, friend. We come her today to honor all the ways she lived and you knew her in life. We remember her love. We are relieved that her suffering has ended. And we mourn her death. What I know about you all as a family is that you will do this well. Today and in the days ahead you will celebrate Lynn’s life with funny stories and laughter, with tears and sorrow. You will grieve her loss and you will rejoice that you knew her. In life we all suffer times of great sorrow. Our lives are peculiar. For just when we think everything is great, life is wonderful, something happens. An ill
I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving. poem from "Red Bird" photos from my personal file of my dog and a rose from one of our bushes

Seriously, across the street?
It would disconcert me, too.
Can you tell I come from New York? ;-)
