We have many here in Liesure World, Seal Beach. Even still, we are over run with the darned rabbitts. Can't feel warm and fuzzy about them when they eat everyone's gardens and flowers and leave little pillets all over the place. So basically, the coyotes pretty much leave us alone as they are as afraid of us as we are them!<br /><br />Judy <br />DuvallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-8803751690304694952012-07-06T17:09:07.970-07:002012-07-06T17:09:07.970-07:00That's about the scrawniest coyote I've ev...That's about the scrawniest coyote I've ever seen!

Had a full work schedule- so trying to catch up in the garden before the daytime temps slide back up where they normally are this time of year. <br /><br />I hated okra until I tried it fried southern style. <br /><br />Yes, it has gotten more expensive- but what hasn't? At least this is an occasional treat. I'll remember the good meal better than the dollar saved serving something else.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-78764751181915969342012-07-06T10:57:01.563-07:002012-07-06T10:57:01.563-07:00Lydia,

"HEY! HE GOT MORE THAN I GOT"!! "WHY DON'T YOU COOK TWO BAGS INSTEAD OF JUST ONE?"<br />OK so I cook two bags at a time now. Those suckers have gotten more and more expensive over time, just like all food!! :(<br /><br />Yes, tell us what kind of ribs you buy and what you do to them.<br /><br />Abby is a darling!<br /><br />XO TrishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-15816781392963933382012-07-06T09:49:30.153-07:002012-07-06T09:49:30.153-07:00Mr. Coyote is young.

He'll fatten up- but with our milder winters, he probably won't get the luxurious coat I've seen in colder climates.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.com
