Wildlife in Our Yard

javelina.jpgWe have seen several types of wildlife in our yard since moving to Arizona. We see quail, jackrabbits, cottontails, lizards and squirrels almost every day. Less frequently, however, we see javelina, coyotes and one time spotted a mule deer bounding across the back of the lot.

I snapped this photo of a single javelina visiting our back wash area at about 7:30 this morning. I previously posted about javelina in our area titled “Living with Javelina“.

Nostalgic Drive-in Restaurant

Verna and I went off of our normally conservative low-cholesterol and low-fat diet regimen today in order to patronize Screamer’s, the old-time drive in diner in town. We went the whole route and ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a vanilla milk shake. Even though we split the burger and tossed half of the fries up in the wash for the critters, we felt quite full after enjoying a taste from the past. Click on the image to enlarge.
