Abilene...Abilene...

Feed me?

Me too!!
                                  
We left Possum Kingdom State Park this morning with sunshine over our shoulders.  More importantly.....no gale force winds!  We headed south and west to the Abilene State Park which is just outside of Tuscalosa, TX. This park is in northern to mid- Texas and despite all the wildfires of last spring and summer - green.  Possum Kingdom did not fare so well.  This park is full of wild life.  We have not seen any signs that state specifically "Do not feed the wild-life." We did throw out some bread and carrots to 5 White Tailed look alikes.  These deer have never seen a gun or heard a gun shot!!! They are tame to the point of being a nuisance.  After breaking the first law of a sign we didn't see, we went on to feed a beautiful feral cat.  Black, shiny and apparently very pregnant.  A little tuna fish in a paper bowl and she was up on the picnic table in a heart beat; albeit with one eye on the camper.  She definitely was much more cautious then the deer.

"Our" black feral beauty

Checking out the "Chicken of the Sea"

We think she is eating for "many"


We are looking forward to exploring this park tomorrow on
our bikes.  We rode a little this afternoon for the first time since we left Michigan.  It was 70 degrees, the sun was shining and it was wonderful!!!  I think a little sunshine and exercise is all Richard needs to kick this cold that caught him.
