How Long Does It Take?
There was up to seven inches of snow here in north central North Carolina not barely a week ago and just now out checking pork ribs on the grill I spied several mosquitoes hovering over my right arm. And getting rid of dead cats with a buzzard, or turkey vulture if you prefer, is not all it's cracked up to be. Thematically this is about small but irritating bloodsucking insects, frozen precipitation, and much maligned and misunderstood scavenger species. Thematically this is about snow, scavengers, and vampirism. Or surfing without a wave, falling through cracks, and climatological effects on animals at rest. Thematically this is about searching for theme, flying with entrails, and cold white blankets. Spring and Winter, rapid transitions, slow decay and a force of will. There is little more to say but much to be done. There are sixty to choose from but just this one.
Not Virginia, I hope.
i wish the cats in my back yard could be vulture bait!!
That cat looks like a squirrel. Wonder if it taste like one too.
i am trying wolf pee soon on my cat varmits
No, not Virginia. Funny thing is, it sat out there literally for at least a month. I just chose not to deal with it. Waiting for the vultures, who took forever, I guess because of the cool temps it didn't get stinky enough for them, but this morning, looking out right after this post, and it was gone (or so I thought, Bernadette just went out and looked for it, and it was still there but dragged a few feet and repositioned from where it had been all that time). And it turned out to be a raccoon.
