I'm nearing the end of my time in NY, and this morning I had 3 very large does in the back yard to send me off! I used to see the deer coming and going every day but in the last few years they haven't been using this yard. Today I watched them and they stopped nibbling grass and watched me back. I tried mental telepathy with them, but don't know if it worked or not - they stayed longer than usual watching me, so maybe it did.
I was out yesterday and noticed that the trees are definitely getting some color. Too bad I will miss the best of the show. I will certainly miss all the green grass and trees when I get back to the desert which Sacramento is becoming.
Speaking of Sacramento, I remember when I lived there in the 1980's I liked to go to the Crocker Art Museum on Saturday mornings, and one painting was my favorite. It depicted Sacramento before the fortune seekers inundated the area, and it was still inhabited by the native Indians. It was obviously during the heat of summer and you could see the heat shimmering up from the ground. The grass was brown everywhere, as the natives didn't use irrigation on the large scale we do today. Think of the millions of people now using water, industries using water, farms using water, and so on, and it's no wonder we have such a shortage. If and when the rains finally come, everyone will wish they would stop and the sun would shine for a change. We humans can only be satisfied when we are wishing for something else.
- Restful Weekend
For the most part I didn't do much of anything this weekend, and tried to get some much needed rest. I think I'm just plain tired, and my muscles are sore from two of the exercises Dr.G gave me. I love doing them and can...
- Counting Down!
I have only tonight and tomorrow night on the road and will then be in the area of Huntington Beach for 3 nights. I leave on next Friday morning and just hope I don't run into a heavy commute, but I'm so close to the end of this trip now...
- Back On The Trail
I parked my car at a lot a few miles further along the trail and walked about 2-1/2 miles, which is 5 miles round trip. My legs are hurting, and I can't understand why they should since I walk a lot to begin with. The sun was...
- Hot-hot-hot!!!
I never did like Sacramento during the summer, and the older I get the more I hate it. Triple digits for at least the next week are not healthy for me. I've been out twice today - early this morning I went to buy strawberries at the farmers'...
