            It is a good but dark morning here in Hewitt, aka, the sun isn’t up yet.

            My story for the day is about how wild our neighborhood is. Now wild does not refer to the neighbors and their actions during the evening hours, as most of the neighbors are retired and they do not usually go out at night. I should note that some of the retired neighbors have cameras recording the events outside their home’s day and night.

            In this soon to be wonder filled and informative story, you will learn of the reason a couple of my neighbors have contacted me and informed me of some late-night events. They have suggested that I might want to review our videos looking for something they found as interesting. These neighbors have cameras that alert them of activity outside their home’s day and night.

            Now in my latest notification a neighbor suggested I might want to review video from Tuesday morning at 3:26am. I followed the suggestion and found nothing in the video which looked over my front yard, the street in front of our home and in the direction of the neighbor’s home. I sat there watching the monitor for possibly 20 minutes and saw nothing. Then it came to me, daylight saving time, my video was probably on regular time, which meant I needed to watch at 2:26 instead of 3:26, and I also needed to change the time on our security cameras.  

            I then reviewed the video at 2:26am and there it was, a coyote in the front yards of our neighbors’ homes. The coyote went through there yards up the street and out of the site of my cameras. My neighbors have been seeing this wild coyote the last few nights. I wonder where the coyote stays during the day.

            I guess I need to think about getting the grand kid to school this morning and not about the coyote. I did learn that the last average freeze in the Hewitt area is the last week of this month. Now that don’t mean there will not be any late freezes, just the normal last freeze is the last week of the month. I want to get the flowers out but I am reluctant to get them out yet.

            Well, I guess that is it for today, we hope everyone has a good day and that we are all safe in all we do.
