In the 18 months we have lived here, I've seen some strange things. I've seen Amish people talking on cell phones at Target. I've seen a rooster and a chicken in my yard. Actually, my husband had to identify the chicken and rooster for me. I just called him and told him that weird feathery things were running around our yard. Back home, the craziest thing I ever saw was 2 neighbor dogs getting overly friendly with each other. I've seen a wild turkey waddling around an intersection. I saw a live monkey riding in the back seat of a car drinking a coke. While I am not exactly a city girl, these things are both surprising and entertaining. To say I'm not a nature girl is to put it politely. While jogging in my mother-in-law's Chicago neighborhood, I saw a coyote and ran screaming the other way. Side note - I had no idea I could run that fast. Or that coyotes are big scaredy cats, too. On the other hand, last year we had a baby bunny in our yard. I made my husband ask the neighbor to keep their crazed cat locked up so it wouldn't snack on little Thumper. It made me feel like I was Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie (but with a car, microwave, running water and cell phone).
