Giving us the historical perspective added to the richness of the experience and rounding it off with coffee and a donut was the cherry on top for me! <br /><br />It must have been quite a scary moment when you were suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with that coyote...how fortunate none of the boys decided to give chase!!!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-13358700263335692342011-03-20T18:39:52.097-07:002011-03-20T18:39:52.097-07:00This was a nice walk with the dogs, except for the...This was a nice walk with the dogs, except for the coyote.

Lisa, We regula...Thanks for your comments everyone.<br />Lisa, We regularly hear coyotes howling just west of we live, usually when we walk the dogs late in the evening. Just before Halloween we heard them yapping closer than they usually come to town and saw a fox run out onto the road in front of us to escape them. The two weeks ago I noticed large footprints in the snow just behind our house (an open lightly wooded area). The coyote sighting was 100 feet west of the little church and right here in our little village. Has a coyote been prowling around the outskirts of town? Maybe. But to put this sighting in perspective, though we hear coyotes regularly, we have only once in the ten years we have lived here, actually seen a coyote (the other night).<br />Egretta Wells, I believe the river may have flooded its banks in the past, but not since we have lived here. Our house sits not far above the water table and so we have 2 sump pumps that run 24/7.<br />I have heard that the mill can not be redeveloped until the city installs city sewers in the village. We are all on septic systems at the moment. It would be a truly wonderful spot for a gallery,museum or artist's studios.<br />With regard to my background as an artist, I have a fine arts degree and worked for years and years in the art department of a wallpaper company. Then more recently, I worked as a graphic designer for a high-end kitchen cabinet company. Most recently I have begun to move away from corporate/commercial art and have begun to explore a role as a fine artist.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-72921069579666476692011-03-19T12:10:18.955-07:002011-03-19T12:10:18.955-07:00One more - I love how you describe your valley as ...One more - I love how you describe your valley as a souffle that has fallen in the middle.

This is the second coyote sighting you've blogged about and I find myself surprised that they actually exist in such a heavily travelled area. Of course, I don't know all the back roads and trails surrounding you where they could make a home for themselves. I too, would be concerned about my dogs, especially my Toy Manchester Terrier who weighs a mere 8 pounds. Have fun at Canada Blooms ~ I hope to get there tomorrow!Lisa ~Suburban Retreat~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10119349730386156556noreply@blogger.com
