Come Here Putty Cat!!!

NOT!!

I made it home ok! kinda scared the willies out myself this evening.

Ya'll know that I am trying to stick to my promise and move every day a little extra. I ran out of time before we had to leave to go to our monthly luncheon meeting (I officially joined the newcomers this month).
And since we were half way there yet we decided to go to Sam's Club and do some shopping. Last time I went was about 6 month ago and I needed to stock up on a few things. Anyways, we got home after 5:30pm and by the time the hailing stopped and I unloaded most of the groceries it was pitch black out there.

I decided to put on the rain jacket, get a flash light and go down to the mailbox anyways.

Well, half way down I remembered that it's hunting time for the putty cats (aka mountain lions and bob cats). Kinda made me walk a bit faster, if ya know what I mean! I am usually not too scared about stuff like that, but unfortunately this is for real.
Just a few days ago our neighbors saw a mountain lion on a tree not far from the trail they were walking on. Plus some of our neighbors had some chickens and goats fall victim to the hunters in our region. Same thing with those darn rattlers we have around here (remember?), I need to remember they do exist, they really do exist!!

Maybe I should take my doggie with me or better yet maybe I should walk when it's light outside. Yeahh, I think that's what I will do from now on!
