THURSDAY IN THE 50s!
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 8:49 amGOOD MORNING ALL!
I've found I can't compost near my house any more, as the pile, unless it gets buried each and every day with the tractor, attracts a myriad of potential growlers! Our coyotes here have a huge area that they patrol and hunt, as the land is both wooded and open and vast. In all my travels, I have seen no coyotes while walking, although Richard said he saw a huge one, wolf-sized, last year while walking the woods road to the pond. At night, they invariably commence a howling party in whatever area they are hunting for that day, and I love to hear them. It reminds me that I share my land with the wild creatures. However, in a more civilized, settled area, the wild creatures tend to get bold and invasive as their territories have been so minimized. I am convinced that some of our former smaller coyotes have interbred with the Canadian wolves and have now established a new breed of what the researchers call the Adirondack wolf. They are bigger, their howls are more wolf-like rather than yip-like, and they fascinate me when they have their howl parties. I hope everyone coming to the Ruckus can hear them while sitting around a campfire.
Yesterday we went to our local Vermontville RV dealer, and the lady there would very much love to see Carol's Chalet with the dormer, if she may, when she gets it set up. She sells A-Liners, and can order one with a dormer if she chooses, so would like to see how they work.
58 degrees here this morning, and my maximum/minimum thermometer recorded that it got down to 45 last night----brisk, to say the least. (Take note, those of you heading north for the Ruckus!) Also, there is a good stiff breeze out there, so the awning will stay closed for a while. I will most certainly not be swimming in my pool today!
Tonight we will go back over the mountain to another free music concert at Wilmington Beach, if the weather allows such an activity. I might finish mowing my lawn here around the campers, and do a laundry. Other than that, the day is open to anything! Happy Thursday to all.

Glad it didn't knock you out!
