We were up by 8 and had breakfast. Time for shopping and hopes (of me) not wasting another day. Our excursion started at the landscape store where we chatted about returning our dead shrub. I guess the sun threw its hands up and said 'forget it, this shrub cannot be saved!' The woman said dig it up and bring it back. Looks like we'll be going back to the landscape store on Monday! Then it was off to Walmart for a lot of crap we didn't need and food that we did need. We were back at the cabin after a quick stop at the farmers stand for corn and Ace for bird seen and other supplies.
Carlo filled the feeders and of course, the first to arrive for sampling was a squirrel. How does he reach like this????
We fixed a butchered screen door install by the previous owners. A simple re-alignment took over an hour - mostly because they screwed up a too big door in an effort to get it into a too small of an opening! We cut up a fallen tree for a bonfire and sat down by the river taking pictures.
For dinner, we went to LaTolteca and though it's been mentioned NUMEROUS times in previous posts, it was yet another fantastic meal! You should come up for a visit so you can try it!
When we got back, we started the bonfire and I must admit that the bonfire in my head was much more fun than the one I attended. First it started with the rustling of the leaves - from all directions. Then when I flashed a light toward (some of) the noise there were eyes shining back! One set, two sets, then four sets following the first two sets that ran into the woods moments before. After about 2 1/2 hours, I had had a bit too much of this sort of fun and ended my participation with the statement: "Cindy is afraid of the noise and the green eyes that are in the dark!" By this time it was after 10 and we ended our day. We hope to accomplish lots of stuff tomorrow, in an effort to winterize and beat the expected rain!
