After a long day of hiking, gardening and six hours of writing, all I wanted was to put my feet up, relax, and have a snack. But instead, I had a close up and personal experience with the thing in the photo below.
I am not bragging, just sharing. For me, odd or strange things show up when I’m home alone. Never when the house is full of people and at least one or two dogs are romping around. That was the case when I came face to face with the thing. And it was real!

Sometimes, it is not an advantage to have better than average hearing or a sense of smell that a dog would envy because then you hear things–what was that? The gate opening? An owl landing on the window ledge? And you smell things–“honey, I smell smoke” or “I think there is a bull out back.”
Having an overactive imagination can be equally as troublesome as elevated and keen senses, especially when home alone.
How would you react if you came face to face with the thing?
Where do you think it came from?
What in the world is it?
Have a wonderful week.
See you next time.

Colorado mountain alien?
I must admit, Jerry Gallegos, that the photo was taken in the Colorado mountains.
Looks like something trying to hide in your hot chocolate. I would sip it very slowly and carefully.
Hi Debbie–Interesting. I did do something "very slowly and carefully" but it wasn't sipping. (I will post additional information about the photo in a few days.)Thanks for stopping by.
You got me scratching my head! I have a couple of guesses but anxious to read next week's column for more info. When you mentioned gardening, I thought it looked something like the clay inside of a flower pot, but then the silver edging looks very familiar and would be more at place around a table edge. Did you have a pot sitting in a pot and when you took it out this was what the bottom of the pot left behind? I love mysteries! Diane
I love mysteries, too, Diane. I also love your creative comment. So far, no one has hit the nail on the head, so to speak, but lots of imaginative ideas. And, yes, soon I will share as to the photo's true content. I do try to post on this blog 2x a week right now. At least that is my goal.
Was it a slow melting small marsh mellow in hot chocolate? Kind of has that foam thing going on. ha
Ooooh, that sounds nice. Wish it was.
