All good. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Nature at its finest? A friend emailed me this link. It is not for the faint of heart. It's a video of a martin chasing a rabbit. The rabbit is likely heavier than the martin, but pound for pound, the martin is one of the toughest animals in the world. Part of the weasel family. I actually live trapped one in my woodshed about 8 years ago. I was happy to be wearing gloves when I raised the gate to release him back into the wilds. This video is safe to watch if you want a 'cute nature' video. It has a happy ending. Uncle Martin - safe for all to watchHe tore my glove the first time I tried to release him. I guess the second time he decided I wasn't that tasty and took off out of the cage. "Run Rabbbit Run! does not have a happy ending, but it is a true depiction of nature. Run rabbit run!
