Correction / Addendum : That was not a coyote ! I went back out to retrieve my pipe which turns out, still has 1/3rd of a bowl and it returned running up the deer path ... it was a young Coywolf. We had a staring contest for a few minutes and then it lurked up the hill ... I'm guessing I won that one but I might not finish that pipe tonight ! (Coyotes are afraid of humans and run away while Coywolves are not.)Dry Sutliff 707 Sweet Virginia in the Vauen Olaf bent egg with 9mm filter late this afternoon while picking wild rasberries in the yard planted courtesy of the birds. These are sweeter and tangy-er than the soapy cultivated raspberries. Got a bit of tongue bite trying to light and keep lit the 707 but once lit it calmed down. As you can see I left plenty of raspberries for the chipmunks and bears (we had 3 sightings in Town this week, one entered someone's pool party ). While finishing the bowl in a lawnchair, a coyote ran through the hillside and down the deer path and a few minutes later a bobcat ran up the hill on my neighbors side of the wall. Some of these berries will be added to a Pillsbury Cranberry Quick bread in the morning.

The Andy Griffith Show was produced entirely in Los Angeles.What a great show, definitely a good one for young boys to grow up watching. I live about 30 minutes drive through the mountains from where the show was filmed, in Mount Airy, North Carolina. It holds a special place in my heart.
