GOOD MORNING CAROL, AVA, AND TO ALL!!
Molly and I woke up in the trailer this morning viewing 4 bunnies and 3 deer checking out the wild apple tree right here next to the sceen room. I had no alarm set, but sure didn't need one, as Molly was vibrating as she was watching the deer! I knew right away what I would find when I opened up my eyes to check out the yard. She would chase those deer until she dropped, unfortunately, if she ever got out free.
It was late when I got back from the campfire at the neighbors' last night, and I was too beat to lug stuff to the leanto---hence, we collapsed in our usual trailer comfy bed.
Another absolutely beautiful day has dawned here, and I am so happy to not have to rush to do anything except go to Saranac Lake and look for flexible stove pipe. I guess Mandy, my daughter, will help me with that tomorrow, if I am able to find a length of the pipe I can use without ordering it.
NO MICE this morning! YIPPEE!!!! But that doesn't mean the trapping is over, as I am sure many more will find their ways into the house as it gets colder and colder at night.
Coffee is blueberry flavored today, with vanilla creamer----YUM! I have no pistachio muffins left---sob! Will have to wait until I get back to Price Chopper after the first pay day next Friday.
I talked to my son, Weldon, last night. He called from somewhere on Route 95 south, near Orlando, FL. The cars were totally stopped, like a parking lot, he said, and people were getting out of their cars and chatting, trying to find out what was up and how long the delay would be. Cop cars and ambulances and tow vehicles and fire engines were trying to make their way through the parked traffic to get to the accident scene. I would so hate to have to put up with that on a daily basis as those living in that area do. Commuters who use I4 are invariably stalled for hours while huge pileups are cleared from the roadway. Give me good old Route 3 up here, any day----two lanes with not too many places for passing. The morning commuters all keep a steady pace and usually stay far enough behind each other to not make me feel angry or anxious, and, as it's always the same cars and trucks I travel with every morning, we all know each other and respect our traveling skills. Once in a while an impatient a-hole will try to pass a line of us in dangerous places, and we all just shake our heads, blow our horns, try to get the license plate number, and let them get far enough ahead of us to avoid the flying debris if/when they go off the highway or hit some unfortunate person coming the other way.
I need to check out my digital game camera again today and see what critters passed by last night.
Off I go to get dressed and head to town to seek flexible stove pipe. May you all have a great day wherever you may be and whatever you may be doing.
