Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I hope you're all enjoying the first week of summer hours. It's nice
to have a little extra time to get stuff done or just to rest, isn't
it? More time for mowing, spreading tick granules or just walking
around checking out things we often miss outside, like a nest of new
baby birds, little green blackberries that will become dark and tasty
about next month and whatever flowers you can find blooming. One of my
favorite things to do is to go down the hill to check on and feed the
ducks and look for the beaver. I have only seen two of the ducks
lately, so I'm hoping that means that the other female is on a nest
somewhere. I actually got to see the beaver the other evening,
swimming around close to where I was feeding the ducks. It didn't seem
too disturbed by me. It didn't slap the water with it's big flat tail
the way they will when they sense danger or get startled. Then I
walked a little further back and looked toward a little area that looks
like an island across the water and there was a big brown lump there
that I first thought was a rock. Then I looked closer and noticed the
shape. It was another beaver! We may have a whole family of busy
beavers down there before the summer's over! How neat! <br>
<br>
If any of you are looking for a new puppy or grown dog to take into
your family, PAWS is having an adoption day this Saturday in front of
Roy's Grocery Store. Come on down and see all the puppies we've got
that need to find good homes with loving families. <br>
<br>
I'm supposed to be off tomorrow, so I may find out what's for lunch
tomorrow and send out another email later on today so you'll know
what's coming up. <br>
