Sunny Florida….
Here it is, the weekend, and its raining and stormy… thunder and lightning with raindrops, oh my! You would think the weather would have the simple dignity to wait until Monday to wreck havoc on my mood.
No sitting outside this morning on wildlife watch, sipping my coffee, cradling the camera in the off chance something would swim by and pose….
I was hoping to get up to the creek today and take some pictures for a new article, fresh water springs are new to me, and I am sure that I am not the only one.
We had also hoped to clean out the storage shed today, in hopes of shrinking our vast array of junk, as well as the bill to keep it… life’s junk, and all the memories that go with it.
One of the guys caught a grass snake at work on Friday, it might have been a foot long if it stretched hard. The area the shop is in is heavily wooded and full of fauna: we see lizards, snakes, you name it, we probably have it marauding around there. We even have a “shop” pet, a tarantula that pops out on occasion to say hi, and scare the dickens out of the unwary!
The new job is going well, most of the people are great, and the work is steady. Hopefully the economy, or the Presidents new health bill will not destroy it. Thankfully there are a few intelligent people in politics that bothered to read the bill enough to catch the horrendous ignorance within and stall its passing.
The thunder is rolling, time to go…
Tom
