This is the third winter we'be spent at Eagle View RV Resort. We've heard our neighbor say that he had seen Javelinas in the park a few years back, but we've never seen any. We seen horses and cattle and coyotes and all kinds of birds, but that's it.
We were on our way into Fountain Hills, just past the fence around Eagle View, when a big black javelina came tearing across the road right in front of us! It's a good thing Forry has fast reflexes or we would have hit it! It was moving so fast there was no chance for a picture.
We had seen a family of Javelinas when we were in Texas. We were at a wildlife sanctuary where they had feeding stations to lure in birds. We spotted a mother with three or four little ones underneath the feeders cleaning up. They are really quite cute, but they don't smell very good. The one we saw today was quite a bit bigger than the ones we saw before.
The skies were clear and blue this morning, but it was still chilly. It's supposed to start warming up again tomorrow- I certainly hope they're right.
We took a batch of mail, including our ballots for the school levy in Mount Vernon, to the post office, then headed over to Safeway for groceries. We were thinking about going out to dinner, but getting groceries tires us out so much, it was easier just to come home and eat after we got them put away...
