FOX

                                          THE RED FOX HURRIED PAST MY BACK DOOR ALONGSIDE THE SIXTH GREEN TODAY AT 8 AM..  THE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE CREW HAD MOWED THE GREEN,INSTALLED THE HOLE POSITION AND FLAG FOR THE DAY AND A LARGE WATER TANKER SPEWED CHEMICALS ON THE GREEN.  SOON AFTER THE FOX SCURRIED BY AS THE FIRST GOLFERS ARRIVED IN THEIR CARTS TO PLAY THE FIFTH AND SIXTH HOLES.  A COUPLE WHO PLAY THIS HOLE EVERY DAY HAD A BALL IN THE WATER TODAY.  THEY HAD TO USE THEIR RETRIEVER.

                                    THE FOX WAS THE ONLY CHANGE.  I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM ALL YEAR.  DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME AND THE EARLY SUNRISE HAS CHANGED HIS ROAMING HOURS.  THE SKIES ARE DARK AT NIGHT WITH JUST A CRESCENT MOON SO HE HAS TO HUNT DURING DAYLIGHT TO KEEP THE FAMILY FED.
