He's Back

Today I had my appointments. I visited with my friend Gwena. I then drove home. Fixed two faucets, thought about resting but decided to vacuum the pool instead. ( I knew David did not feel well this morning so I did it before he got home today).
I then sat on the driveway and repaired my wagon. Yes I have a wagon and it IS NOT red. It is a gray pull cart. I love it as I can maneuver it and I can pull it behind my tractor.
To bring you up to date, One of the wheels lost all the nuts and bolts that were holding it on. I do not understand how that could happen but really, Every one of them (all five) were gone. So I bought the necessary parts and fixed it.
I might add not one was even loose on the other four wheels.
Weird huh?
As I sat there I suddenly looked up. There was my neighborhood coyote.
He was coming across the field. I yelled at him to "Go away." He kept coming. I stood up and began backing into the garage, ready to run if I needed to and the thoughts were flying through my head.
What if I can't run fast enough?
What if I can't get the door open?
Did I leave the house door unlocked?
Can I get in the car? Oh no!!! The windows are down,
I don't have the keys in my pocket.
Heck!! I don't have a camera.
My heart was racing, He was running full force toward the lawn area, ignoring me but seeing me. I know he saw me, he looked directly at me.
It was like slow motion, His head was up, his nose pointed the way.
His tail was pointing straight out behind him, He was running like the wind.
Such perfect form, Wild, graceful, Sleek, Purpose in mind. It was beautiful to watch.
(something you only see on Nature specials).

I got a sense of seeing something I may never see again. Ecstatic feeling, Beautiful creature. I was in awe. wanting to run, wanting to stay and see what happens next. Maybe I am too inquisitive. Or maybe I am not, I Love Nature so much.

He took his normal route across the lawn to the neighbors field, through the horse pasture, into the blackberry vines.
Whew that was a little scary. And a whole lot exciting.
He is so unafraid of me. Sorry, I can't say the same for my feelings about him.
I wonder where he goes every day.
Or is it a she?
Tomorrow at the same time I am going to sit on the driveway, camera in hand, door to house standing open and I am going to get a photo, if I can, with my slow camera.
Once you see him you will know why I am so enthralled with his presence. He is something out of a story I read as a child.
Something wild in each of us want to see nature at its best. I believe I am so aware of his presence. Maybe he needs food. Why else would he hunt in broad daylight? I am full of questions tonight.
So with that I say, Goodnight sweet people.
