As some of you may know, I live deep in the country. I'm very leary of taking Lexie outside, even on a leash because of some of the critters that roam around on the 10 acres we live on. There's bobcats, racoons, snakes, hawks, hogs, armadillos (not scary) and I'm sure other things I don't even know about. There are 2 hawks we've seen a lot of lately and they are GINORMOUS!! We estimate at least a 6 foot wingspan.
OK so yesterday morning I'm out in the yard, without Lexie (thank GOD) and something tells me to look up! Circling over ME is one of these infamous hawks
. The BF said he was probably trying to size me up and figure out if I was something he could handle since from up high I probably look tiny. I'm a mere 5 foot. Talk about unsettling. I was wearing a tshirt that is the color orange hunters wear for safety.
I don't know if a hawk would even try. I'm not THAT schooled on birds of prey. I would hate to find out though. Can you imagine if he would've tried?!? Scared the tar outta me. I wish those hawks would move, I'm sure Lexie would love to run around outside, but I'm scared even with her on a leash.
