I've been busy getting ready for winter around here. Replacing clapboards, scraping and painting the house. I've recaulked the shower, fixed ceiling tiles, and building a dog house for Evvy. The mornings have become more crisp which is refreshing. Still I have hoped for a longer summer. The next several days promise to be great for Labor Day weekend, so I'll make the most of it.
Evvy and I continue to take our long walks in the morning. I caught this great picture of a small
pond nearby. It was about 7:30 a.m. I think. Evvy waded among the reeds eating grass, and avoiding the bloodsuckers. I sucked the marrow out of the moment, so peaceful.
This morning we took a walk along the boundary of the Faulkner Conservation area. I saw some flourescent pink surveyors tape marking a trail. Being the super sleuth I am, sort of, I decided to see what lay at the end of the trail. I thought for sure I'd find a grow of marijuana. I'd tell the local Drug Task Force, it'd be great! Instead, but thankfully, I found a stand of Blackberry bushes just dripping with fruit. So as Evvy continued to explore, I filled my fanny pack with berries. I think the area had been visited by others, animal and human alike, as many berries had already been picked. I will enjoy the fruit I did manage to pick, maybe in a muffin, or on my cereal. Or, maybe I'll freeze them and remember summer in the middle of winter.
