This morning, instead of writing while I had childcare, I made phone calls... and ordered a new phone. I dropped mine while vacuuming, and shattered the screen. ARGH. A hundred times ARGH. Then I talked to government agencies on the phone (the lengthy verdict being that I needed to call and order MORE forms to fill out), and tried to reserve a car rental (they were closed) and dealt with paperwork. Did I mention ARGH?
Now I am sitting down to work on orders, but wanted to blog now while I could.
Here is a photo from yesterday - Snow White and I from our walk. A facepalm seemed appropriate to my morning.
Oh, and one catch-up note from Friday. On my way to pick up childcare Friday morning, a dark fox ran across the road in front of us. I thought it was just a dark cross fox, which I've seen in the area, but it paused on the side of the road as we passed and I got a really good look. It was actually a BLACK fox, utterly pitch black except for the white tail tip, and simply gorgeous. I've never seen one before!
Orders, and I think I will crank up some tunes.

I couldn't remember how to spell the word *melanistic*, and in looking it up…
"There are three color phases in addition to the red phase. The melanistic phase is black; the silver phase is black with white tips; and the cross phase is red with black across the shoulders and back."
Interesting bits about foxes!
I've had the Leucism phase of a blue jay in my dad's back yard recently. Those are white without being albino.
I've been told that there are rare cases of our native foxes being white or black, but so far all I've seen is red, red, red - or rather orange. :p
