a good day



Recently I heard from Larry Hendrix:

“I don't usually think of going to Oak Ridge for nature study, but I was at the marina yesterday and as I drove East on Melton Lake Drive I saw a ‘beautiful’ red fox run across the road not 20 feet in front of my car. I was aware that nobody was behind me, and I slowed both to give it an extra margin of safety and to see that wonderful tail! I like foxes, and have seen few of them in East Tennessee. I think the last one was in Townsend about 12 years ago. As I was thinking about how pretty the fox was, I saw a small fawn grazing not eight feet off the right side of the road. I considered that a good day to go to Oak Ridge.”
