BEEYOOTIFUL SATURDAY!!
Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 7:21 am
GOOD MORNING TO US ALL!!
What another gloriously beautiful morning it is, indeed! Perfectly clear skies, 56 degrees and rising, nice moderate breeze to keep bugs down and provide cooling----what more could a retired person hope for!
Molly and I decided to stay in the trailer last night rather than the tent outfit, however, as it got very cool when the sun went down----down to about 41 degrees.
My daughter checked in last night from PA, from where she will leave today rather early to head back here for the 4th celebratory weekend. Today my jobs are to clean the party barn, along with mowing the front lawn. The next several days are predicted to be with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s! My generator is not powerful enough to run my AC, if I should need it, in VT, although a fan might suffice. However........
I am thinking it would be a great time to go to Sliver Lake Beach campsite, rather than try to camp in an open field in VT for that Bluegrass festival. I'll have to think about this today as it warms up here. I have tons of bluegrass CDs I can play while being able to swim! For me, the camping is the thing----even more than the live music. And, if I can swim while camping right on the water, that's the best! I may have to call Richard, who thinks I am going to Brandon, for sure. It would be fun to see Cedar and Kathy and Richard, but, if I haul my trailer to Silver Lake, maybe they will stop by there? I know Richard loves it there. How nice to have choices! (And, I could save about 70.00 for the extra camping days and tuition tickets.) Frugality is me now!
Report on Hope the bear cub this morning is encouraging---she is coming less and less for supplemental food as the berries and wild foods ripen in Ely. She looks to be in great shape for a little one on her own. Her mom, Lily, seems to be through with her early estrus cycle, and no males have been spotted pursuing her any more. It would be fun if she would team up with Hope once again, so they could den together. Reports of yearling cubs denning with pregnant mothers are on record, so it's not unheard of. The saga of Hope continues!
Here's hoping you all have a wonderful Saturday doing something fun and outside, if the weather allows. I need to get started on the barn while the grass is drying out!
