However, I mean that in the cutlery sense - I need to wash dishes tonight -_-

I other news, I always mean to write up about the wildlife I often come across in my Jola related wanderings. There's often bunnies, sometimes skunks (thankfully not any for a while now - I'd say not since Christmas). Many squirrels, of course (grey), and lots of birds - mostly crows, mocking birds, and cardinals. Apparently cardinals form colonies, who knew? They're so pretty! I think I may have mentioned seeing the occasional snake before as well - green snakes and water snakes.

I have seen some more exciting things recently though. When dad and Jennifer came up, we saw an Egrette - some sort of white crane, anyway - in the bed of Bee Creek near the culvert where it passes under Southwest. That was Christmas eve. On New year's Day, I saw a geat Blue Heron in the same place. I took it for a good omen. When I eventually remembered to look it up, the Internet, at least, told me that herons are a symbol of fortune and/or wisdom. I'll take either, thanks :V

The day before yesterday, I saw a beautiful brown raptor of some sort. Maybe it was even an eagle. Beautiful creature. I've got to start carrying my camera - I saw him(her?) again this morning, sitting in a tree along the path at Lemon tree park. I haven't seen him fly, he just sort of... appears siting, and generally disappears when I am telling Jola to stop pulling.
