I love spring time
Mood:  happy
I was out on the dam this morning looking at some graffiti that had been sprayed on the wall over night when I was approached by a visitor. She asked me if I knew that we had a den of foxes on the north end of the dam. Hearing about this for the first time I asked her if she could show me where she had seen them. I always get concerned when visitors spot wildlife that close to the walking trails because we tend to have a lot of dog walkers and all I need is for momma fox to go after someone's dog. We walked down a little path towards the tailrace and as we came around the corner, there they were. Three little kits (baby foxes) playing in the culvert. Apparently momma had them living in a small drain pipe. They were so cute. They were very curious and approached us to check us out. I didn't see momma. I figured she was out looking for food or a new place to move the babies. We stood there and watched them play. They would jump on each other and roll around. One discovered a butterfly and proceeded to chase it. SO CUTE!!! I ran back to the office to grab a camera (of course I never have one on me when I need it). I unfortunately got cornered by my boss and by the time I got back out to the site...they were gone. I am going to keep a eye on the hole to see if they come back. Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures to post.

Today should be a fairly slow day. We are preparing for a safety inspection on Thursday but I think we have got most of the stuff done. My friend Marie is coming in from Greenville tonight and we are going to eat at Firebirds...one of my favorite restaurants. I am so excited and so hungry. Thank God it is almost lunchtime.
