Weird weather - very cloudy, looks like a storm any minute, but nothing on radar. It’s “cool”, high 70’s with a bit of humidity. There’s also been quite the breeze. All of this has Fall on my mind. The gray days remind me of November skies except it’s not cold.
Perfect day for shoveling that second load of dirt out of the trailer. It’s all in the 3rd bed, mounded up & tarped. I waited a week to pick up this load after we had a spell of heavy rain - the rain had drained out of most of what I got ... dry dirt isn’t near as heavy as wet dirt (duh!).
I didn’t mention that we saw “wildlife” going across the mountain for the dirt. A handsome red fox crossed the road in front of us so I slowed down to look in the woods - it had stopped & I got a good look. That was going .... coming back a snake crossed the road in front of me. It was on a fairly steep downhill and I was hauling heavy so I didn’t brake or swerve .... snake made it without getting hit. The interesting thing about the snake was that it sure looked like a Timber Rattler to me! I have seen plenty in the mountains doing trail work & hiking so I know what they look like. As long as I don’t see any Timbers around our place, I’m good with just seeing them in the mountains.
No more work today that involves my back. I think I’ll go on a date this afternoon with Clyde :-)
Yet another busy day for you! I’ll bet you’ll be very happy when Fall falls at your place. :)
I haven’t seen a Red Fox in ages. They are few and far between up here in The Driftless. :(
We’ve had and are having t-storms all around us, lots of impressive cloud formations included, but, no rain for US. Drat!
At least it’s going to cool off some, esp. this weekend. Just in time for the big picnic @ my wife’s church! :-)
