Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

The little lummox is also red in tooth and claw...

... and life here at home is so much wilder than life at the perfectly manufactured Animal Kingdom. The day after Fluffy Pasha ... uh, 'disposed' ... of the injured bird, I was walking with the lummox down by the Yadkin River. He is nosing through some tall grass, gives a snort, and tosses his head my way. Out of his mouth pops a little mole, already dead as a doornail after one titanic shake.

The little lummox is no longer interested. He has performed his ancestral duty. He walks away.

Cricket left us a present on the back deck overnight. She's graduated to killing rabbits (this one was nearly as big as she). I wish she'd get back to mice!

Wow. Maeraed and I watched him playing with a little mouse, but I had no idea he could get something that big.


BTW, we loved the movie and dinner was great. Can't wait til you remodel the kitchen and can do some real cooking!
