River glistens purty in the dawn

And - not *very* much higher than it was last night. I can see a trail worn through the leaves and mud where my buddy the coyote has been pacing by the fence. Occasionally from my back window I can see him. Doesn't he ever get tired, going back and forth?

Saw a kitty swimming, who pulled herself out, and shook herself off, and squiggled under my fence, shaking each paw in disgust as she went. She couldn't have been in the water long if she had energy to do that. She made a beeline to my boy's swing set fort out back, and climbed up the ladder to the second story, where she cleaned herself off.

I was up several times last night tending to sick kiddos, and used the opportunity to peer out back. The house lights lit up *just* to the fence, and I figured if I didn't see a glisten, all was okay. Nice to know I was right.

The grass undulates under my feet as I try to walk on it, so much water is flowing underneath. Kind of like walking on a water bed. I walk in the sunspots where the snow has melted, as to *not* repeat last evening's slip, sliding comedy of errors.

There's a spot just by the fence where all the underground water is pouring out in a spring. I've seen the coyote drink from this. It comes out of the ground surprisingly clear.

It's clear and beautiful outside, if cold. Weather report says no more rain until Friday.
