Wow - Doc started me on an antibiotic for my sinus infection and it's got me up walking the floors. Like a dummy, I took the medicine late, about 9PM and went to bed around 1030 or so. I read for a bit then went to sleep. Woke up around 2:30AM and have been up ever since. Cathy has been up twice to see what I was doing but went back to bed. It's around 6:30AM now and sun is coming up. Ain't done this in a long time but it's really nice watching the sunrise over the mountains. Yesterday morning I watched a big old Tom turkey in the front yard strut around. I was in the process of putting my flag up and was wishing I had my camera. But as most turkeys do, he spotted me the minute I moved and took off flying into the woods. I guess I'm gonna have to start toting that camera around just to catch shots like that. I did happen to catch a skunk along the roadside grubbing in the grass. I told Cathy that I was going to turn around and get a pic of him and she went ballistic - telling me how we were gonna get sprayed and all. I just turned around and told her to keep the windows closed and nothing would happen. I got this pic.
He just kind of went on his way without much attention to us. Clouds are starting to form up so won't be seeing the sun for very long. They're predicting showers for today and if it doesn't rain, it's missing a real good chance. Guess I'll go make another cup of coffee and putter around some more.
