Huh?? What was that??
The other night I had a hard time sleeping. I tossed & turned and tossed & turned. I got out of bed and turned the fan in my room on low. I got out of bed and turned the fan on medium. I got out of bed and turned the fan on high. I got out of bed and turned the fan on to osculate. I got of of bed and turned the fan to stand still (I need a remote fan). I kicked the covers off . I put the covers back on & kicked them off again. I put a pillow here and I put a pillow there.......uggg! My shoulder is still sore from surgery so I am limited to the positions I can sleep and trying to get comfortable sometimes is almost impossible! At 1:30 in the morning and not getting any shut eye I decided to get up and go outside to my deck. As I stood on the top stair I went through my routine of night time deck visits. Wave my hands to make the motion sensor light come on, look down the driveway to make sure cars are OK (right check), look into the yard to make sure whatever it is I'm suppose to make sure of...I'm not even so sure myself....lol (left check). Well, this night I was very surprised! As I did my left check, up on the roof of my shed hiding under the apple tree two eyes appeared at me. I tried to focus as the motion light started to get bright. There it was...plain and clear! Staring at me as I stared at it. A little startled and caught off guard I backed into the house and slowly shut the door. I tried to wake up my son who was not interested. I tried to wake up the dog who was not interested. I wanted someone to see this with me. I did not want to experience it by myself. I kept peeking out the back door window to see if it was going to leave. Much to my surprise it stayed. I slowly opened the back door and returned to the top stair and stood watching in aww. I stretched my neck to look..it stretched its neck to look back. I have heard of them. Knowing they can be nice and they can be mean I didn't want to take my chances and go down to the deck. I have seen them on the side of the road unfortunately hit by a car but...but never up close and personal like this. It was in my back yard! It was on the roof of my shed!!! I tried to take pictures with my cell phone but they didn't come out. I stood on the top stair pondering if I should go get the camera but I didn't want to leave ......too soon it turned its little bandit eyes away as I watched it slowly creep on the shed roof, down the back fence and over to the neighbors yard...my last glimpse of my early morning visitor was the fluffy striped tail....And he didn't even stay for a cup of coffee!
