Back
I don’t have too much to say about this day except that I’m happy to be “back in the land of the living”! If I’ve managed to get rid of my cold this fast (about three days) I am lucky, but on Friday i was feeling very sorry for myself. I’d either cough almost until I choked or fainted, or took enough medicine that I could hardly function. Makes me appreciate my usual good health.
I took this picture out our front door this morning; it’s such a bright, beautiful day, and mild. So much of our snow has melted, leaving bare batches in the yard and fields, and a LOT of ice on our driveway. On my way home from our Sunday brunch, I almost slid into a snowbank, instead of making the turn at the bottom of our road. The tires grabbed at the last second and the truck veered back onto the correct path. I was going about 5 miles per hour so I wouldn’t have been in TOO much trouble, but at least I didn’t end up stuck.
On Saturday morning, the “outdoor” dogs were barking furiously, and I wondered who was calling, and hadn’t expected company (I was in the shower!). I threw on some clothes and opened the back door: there were two large coyotes trotting through the field behind our house, and then into the neighbours’ pasture. The coyotes would stop and stare in our direction, unafraid. Our dog, Lady, leaped from the porch and tore across the yard, but as soon as I spoke her name, whirled around and came back. Best not to start anything with even one coyote, let alone two.
Half an hour later, there was a commotion outside AGAIN, so I went to look: there stood a MOOSE in the bush atop “our rock bluff” behind my grooming shop, just browsing and very unconcerned. We (Gary and I) have no reason to disturb or harm any wildlife, and it is a blessing to see them around us.
Gary has been shoeing horses in Ft. St. James this weekend, a few hours’ drive from here. He’ll be back this afternoon.
There is nothing much else that I can write about in a public weblog. “Breakfast Club” was busy and noisy and somewhat bizarre today, in “real life”. Those who know me in “chat” will realize that some of the commotion which goes on (in the room I usually visit) has been upsetting me, but I’m still addicted. I will just busy myself with other things today.
Thanks for stopping by!
