Wyrd Sister,

How wonderful to have the kind of place to walk you discribed!

Well, I went and joined the zoo! (no comment about if I belonged there or not LOL) A nice medium sized zoo, with LOTS of hilly paths, and lots of places to stop and rest, and look at the local inhabitants.

(thread creep here)Speaking of inhabitants, we are still cleaning out the garage...as we pulled out a couch to throw away, out comes a mama possom, hissing and spitting! Hubby and I retreated to the porch, but she just wouldn't leave. Had her babies clinging to her back.

Well, we go back down to remove the couch, and find two more little babies stuck inside. I put on my gloves, and move the little buggers closer to a very irate mama, then beat a tactical retreat. She gathers them up, and ambles on down the road, family intact.

Happy ending for everyone! Keep plugging!

Robin
