A little country in the city




OK, the weirdest thing happened last week. The girls and I were playing in the living room when all of the sudden I saw a shadow come over the door. I looked out and there was this huge hawk at my front door. He was so big and beautiful. He landed with a mouse in his mouth and just sat there. Being city dwellers we did not know what to think. I mean we were amazed. All that stood between us and him was a glass door. LK and Emma were amazed. They tapped on the door to get his attention and he just sat there and stared at us. All I could think was I hope he doesn't think we want his mouse and attack the glass door. (You know us city people!! We don't do strange animals.) I mean this thing had 1 inch claws on it!!! (Shannon later corrected me and said they were talons) I don't care what they were all I could think of was our next door neighbor's teacup Chihuahua and how he could be that bird's next meal. Anyway, it was a little something different for our day so I had to share some of the pictures we made.

I would have been so scared. Those things fly around our house and land on the fence. I am so scared they are gonna take my Minnie girl one day.
