I jumped out of bed this morning ready to run. In the back of my mind I wondered if I would see Dog again. I altered my route slightly to go a little further. When I passed the spot where Dog greeted my yesterday, I looked around, hopeful. Alas, no dog.
My turnaround is at a spot where the sidewalk ends. The road continues but I usually turn around since it narrows. Across the street is a field. I looked over, something caught my eye. I thought at first it was a large yellow cat with a fluffy tail. No, maybe a bobcat. I whipped out my handy dandy phone to take a picture. It saw me and looked. It was a fox! I snapped a picture then it ran. I walked a little further to see around the weeds on the fence. There was another one. The first saw me and ran towards the fence so I backed up. Then I saw another. There were at least 3 foxes and a fox den in the middle of the field. The fox came to a hole in the fence. I decided it was time to say good-bye. Thankfully, a car zoomed by forcing the fox to get back to his field or I would have run a whole bunch faster on my way home!!!
Thank you God for giving me these gifts on my runs. The cloud, the beautiful sunrises, Dog, and now the foxes. I think I'll run the same route next time just to see what other surprises are in store.
Sorry, no pictures to post, they didn't turn out. Too far away.
