A buffalo.
I saw my sister-in-law at the bank and asked. And that thing that looks like a buffalo is actually a buffalo. It’s a big metal silhouette.
I’ll try to get a close up picture later, because I know you are just dying to see my buffalo.

When Mark and I brush our teeth, we usually stand looking out a window that faces north. We look northeast and see the Prairie, as well as several of the houses. (Including, ironically, my sister-in-law’s house. How convenient that we can spy on her, right?)
Just kidding. It’s not spying. We’re just keeping track of them, making sure they are safe.
No, we don’t really pay attention to what’s going on. Mostly because there’s nothing going.
OK, maybe we pay a little bit of attention. How else would we have known that they had another new vehicle?
Neither of us remember for sure when it showed up, but for the past several months there has been a buffalo out in the Prairie.
Do you see it? That black lump?
OK, so we know it’s not really a buffalo, but neither of us can figure out for sure what the darned thing really is. Neither of us can remember to ask anyone who might know (like…my sister-in-law…that’s her garage peeking out on the far left of the top picture). Or, heaven forbid, neither of us has managed to actually walk over there and LOOK at the lump up close. We have a guess, but I think the time has come that I’m going to actually figure it out.
I’d hate for it to really be a buffalo, hiding in the prairie, sad that no one has walked out to visit him and see why he’s roaming through this particular prairie.
