October 20, 2007

Moving is a lot of work. For us we need to rent furniture, clear out the RV, put it in storage, setup all the utilities, and update our addresses. We have it down pat now and it only takes us a few days.

This morning while I was working on emails, Aimee yelled at me from the patio. My wildlife spotter did it again. She eyed a pair of large cats walking across the small patch of desert separating our second-story patio from the golf course. At first glimpse I thought they were baby cougars. But short tails and tiger-like face means they are bobcats! For the next hour we watched them sneak around below our patio stalking the rabbits and quail filling this desert golf course “rough”. The bobcats were incredibly patient but in the end unsuccessful while we watched.

First rabbits and dozens of birds. Now coyotes and bobcats. Having our patio be a wildlife observation platform is an unexpected bonus of this apartment.
