Day 81

March 22, 2022

Arthur would have been 93 today.

I drove 290 miles in a FIT today,  Thank you, Diana and Georgie for letting me borrow your car.  Georgie had a Melissa and Doug puzzle in the backseat of trucks and truck noises.  It was hidden and out of nowhere a truck noise would happen, occasionally a police siren would go off.  It was a very interesting ride before we figured out where the noises were coming from. 

I picked Margie up at the airport.  Then we headed for Ember and Karen.  On the way we stopped in Putney for food and bumped into Kora who I hadn't seen in months and months.  She's so wonderful, made both me and Marg smiley.

Then up to N. Springfield where I got a 3 minute snuggle with Eliza Jean who let me take her from her Mom and kiss her.  She just started laughing.  Adorable+

Exhausted and blown I went up to the rookery around 6.  It was a zoo today.  I saw everthing.  It was completely alive.  It was a little windy and a little cloudy, but still 51.  There were 3 pairs of mergansers, a lot of geese in the back, hawks, and up in the highest nest just before I went to leave, a male heron.

There was an otter and a muskrat came over and said hello.  I saw bluebirds and robins and rwbb.

I saw 2 groups of deer.  Turkey, lots of turkey, an adolescent eagle on the trip to Vermont along with at least 8 hawks.

Spring has sprung.  We are there.  We made it.  And we have made it through 2 years of COVID.  Yup,  we're gonna be alright.

No photo from Pauly today.  Yesterday he had a sore throat, I hope he isn't sick aboard ship.
