Coyote

 Today for lunch we had turkey, cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, biscuits, wild rice hot dish, cranberries, and a choice of pumpkin, pecan, or cherry pie. After eating all that we drove to Middletown for a nature walk. We walked until it was too dark to walk anymore. We saw red bellied woodpeckers, robins, blue jays, sparrows and a white throated sparrow. We walked through fields and forest. Luckily I found a magic wand. With my magic goldenrod wand and saying, "Bippity Boppity Boo!" I changed the children into different animals including cheetahs, stink bugs, Komodo dragons, T Rex, wild horses, coyotes, manatees and hawks. Later, as we walked near a thicket, we almost stepped in some manure left by tame horses. Still later we saw something moving in the thicket. The animal crouched low to ground but looked at us curious to see what kind of creatures were making as much noise as we were. We saw a coyote and the coyote saw us. I always say you are lucky on a day that a coyote deigns to allow you to see it.
