My suggestion? Ask the Universe for a fox sighting. Just ask, throw it out there and let it go, knowing it is already answered and will be revealed. :)<br /><br />Winslow Homer's paintings always make me long to be a painter. And a Yearning Lover today? What better way to start a day? Yearning for the mysteries. It's raining right now with thunder and lightning in November, which is rare for here!

Ah, I too enjoy words as you do, Teresa and another 'Ah' for my beloved oh-so-worn red-clothed spinal-injured old friend, my dictionary.<br /><br />Over the years I've been the observing driver too. Have yet to see a fox in nature though; how sad for me. Now this post has me yearning for a trip to Holston Mt; bears and cats live there, don'cha know? <br /><br />I love the picture with the fox. Makes me yearn to learn painting.<br /><br />My Oh Me. I'm just a Yearning Lover today, aren't I?<br /><br />Thank you for sharing yourself with us, Teresa. Delightful and serene. <br /><br /><br /><br />Caddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575600935524610154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-40578048382913206252012-11-10T07:59:42.500-06:002012-11-10T07:59:42.500-06:00I have loved dictionaries (and foxes) all my life....I have loved dictionaries (and foxes) all my life.

I thought, too, of the ways they move to give false trails and such. It's also deer hunting season and hunters may have put him on the run.

They know that scents disappear quickly on paved roads where traffic breaks up the oils that leave the scents. That the car followed the fox is pretty funny. Creates such an image! But in reality there was some predator, usually a coyote, who was giving chase, you just weren't privy to that part of the puzzle.
