Canis Iatrans

So I am innocently driving to work today and I see this crossing the road:

Of all the things to worry about when living in suburban Chicago (murderers, rapists, thieves, scary drivers, high gas prices, and iffy neighbors) now I have to avoid getting eaten alive by coyotes while I am walking in from the parking lot.

I do hope he was okay and managed to avoid the traffic/hunters/train tracks he was headed towards.

Is it May yet???

On Thursday, it was 59 degrees as I drove home from work, windows down, hair flying in the breeze. I opened up my sliding door and let my cats square off with the squirrels on the other side.

Then Friday happened…………………………….it was one of those ’snowing-the-entire-time-I-am-at-work-can-barely-get-out-of-the-parking lot-because-the-snow-is-too-high’ type of days. Ugh……….I thought they were long gone. I almost forgot how to use my scraper to clean off my car because I told my mind I wouldn’t need that knowledge again until NEXT winter, since it is officially spring now.

But at least it was warm yesterday and most of it melted. It also caused things to look really pretty, so I decided to document it, since I hear there was no snow in Iowa on Friday.

The poor little plants sprouting up outside my window are not looking so good anymore after being doused with so much snow. Hopefully they will pull through.

6 Months Later…..

And it’s finally official:

I sent the paperwork in back in November……………glad to know the system works so fast around here.
