Ye gads! Woke up this morning to find out that the cable connecting the county to the real world had broken and fallen into the river! Yikes, no internet, no long distance, no wait it gets worse! How can it get worse you say? No 911, no ability to call for an ambulance or a cop or a fireman! Yes, I know I've never called for any of those in all the years I've been living here but still. What if I had WANTED to?
I think it was the universes way of saying to everybody-get out and enjoy the beautiful day! Its 73 degrees for goodness sakes! Get up off your butt and do some yard work.
Which is what I would have loved to do but, the ground is simply too squishy. And its is still March so I am not waking up my gardens. Two years ago it got very nice (like its been lately) and all the trees and such budded out. Then one night came a killing frost. Not one piece of fruit, not one nut, not one leaf of any tree survived( tho the leaves regrew the flower buds were doen for that year). And the next winter many a squirrel, bird, deer etc all died for the lack of acorns and other nuts they normally eat all winter.
And speaking of fauna, many many birds were flying north this morning but the funny thing was; I'd hear them coming. I'd get the camera and go outside. Wait for them and voila-they'd be flying just far enough east or west of here for me to see but too far to get any decent pics of. They must be camera shy.
Saw two Bluebirds checking out St. Martins-a Purple Martin house in my side yard. I have two martin houses and they took over the cedar lodge years ago but not St. Martins. Firecely territorial, the martins will not stand a chance against the Bluebirds if they want the house. They barely allow the Swallows and Martins to dine in the yard let alone nest!
And lastly, I posted a picture of my Parlor. My Dining room was lonely being the only room I've posted.
