Ferrets in the Mist

I went to the home of one of my coworkers today (Jacque,the one who sits next to me). She taught me how to make beaded jewelery. I made a gorgeous necklace- not bad for a first time effort if I may say so myself. Jacque has four cats and two ferrets. All of said critters are very sweet. I was surprised by what nice pets the ferrets were. I always thought they were weird rodent-like creatures with scratchy coats. These guys were silky and loved being held. They were also very inquisitive. Here they are trying to get into the fruit I brought, inside the brown bag.


Now that the daytime high is over 100 degrees every day (average is about 103) many stores in Phoenix have these wonderful misters. In the seconds in which one enters or exits the store they are treated to a brisk, refreshing microclimate of...85 degrees or so.
