Okay…having heard the coy­otes again last night, think­ing it is time to call the DNR.  About a week ago we heard just one, howling…no kidding…really howl­ing and that was freaky. Then last night we heard a whole group bark­ing and snarling. Sounds do carry far, espe­cially in humid­ity and yet the fact that I can hear them makes me ner­vous. My hus­band says the horses aren’t scared of them and that they the coy­otes will stay away know­ing they will get kicked, and yet the horses are always in bunches these days, even lay­ing in the grass in a group which they never do. The dog is another story…a coy­ote, or group of them, will and do attack dogs. That has me wor­ried. Yep, time to go call the DNR.

Oh…and yes the storms missed us, for the time being.…I will be so glad when this round is over and has moved on. One more day of watch­ing the skies for now. I hate tornadoes.
