I love science and nature. I consider myself a Naturalist. I love studying animals. In the last few months, I’ve added an entirely new dimension to my animal observation: red flood lights. Animals cannot see that spectrum of light.<\/p>\n

So I put dry cat food and suet and wait. I also have a game trail camera that takes 10 seconds of video whenever the light beam is broken.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

I have four separate raccoons that come to my feeder. At least one opossum. I hope one day to see a fox or a coyote on my game cam. Or in person!<\/p>\n

Last night, I looked out the window and I saw a 2ft object standing on the ground. It looked pretty bulky. I got my binoculars out and was studying the shape when it turned its’ head and looked at me with two enormous eyes! An owl! Sure didn’t expect that! It flew up into the tree above my feeders.<\/p>\n

A minute later, an opossum showed up at the feeder. I wondered if the owl would attack the opossum. He didn’t!<\/p>\n

The drama of the night in my back yard.<\/p>\n

For the third day in a row: RECORDING. Wow. Do I love to hear myself talk. “PosiMAXIMUM”<\/a> will get you going in the right direction!<\/p>\n

Worked on making more chocolate Brains and Baby Feet.

\nThen I wrap them in gold foil.

Had a meeting with Diana Clarkson and Ashley with Penelope. Diana works with an organization that gives Flu shots.

\nP is always the best ambassador for Whirlwind Missions.

\nOver to Walmart to buy some snacks for Penelope. A labor of love for sure.<\/p>\n

To the mission to work with the kids. You can tell where they hang out.
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"
\nI’m teaching the children how to watch Penelope. Clear the floor. Make a fence with your legs.
\n\"s\"
\nWow. Does she get a lot of attention.<\/p>\n

Ate supper with Jesse. Uberness. We went shopping to pick up a few things.

Admin duties now.<\/p>\n

Beautiful sunset.
