Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, I finally found my desk. When I got back yesterday, it was so
buried under paperwork I thought I'd have to put out an APB for it, but
once I sorted some things out, there it was the whole time! I was
really surprised how fast paperwork can accumulate when you're gone,
though. When I'm here, it just comes in a little at a time and I don't
see the whole pile at once, so it doesn't seem like so much, but
yesterday there was quite an impressive pile waiting on me to deal with
it. It seems like every time I get all the routine stuff done up, we
come up with another special project to do, so I keep pretty busy over
here.<br>
<br>
I want to wish a very <font color="#ff0000"><b>happy birthday to <u>Mary
Edith Butler</u></b></font> today. She's a real sweetheart, (probably
too nice for her own good), and deserves to have a great day! <br>
<br>
I was beginning to think that the beavers had left the little pond down
the hill, since I hadn't seen any sign of any of them in quite a
while. I guess the last time I saw any of them was before the last
time the county boys tore up their little dam. I know all the ducks
are gone, now. I spoke with some neighbors the other day who told me
that the last male got it when he stuck his head into their dog pen to
try to steal a bite of dog food. Big mistake. And the last little
female was hit by a car while I was gone to swimming class some time
ago. This morning though, as I drove to work, I could see some large,
dark mound alongside the road, and lo and behold, it was one of the
beavers, sitting there chewing on some vegetation. I'm glad to know
they're still around. I enjoy seeing their constructions go up, and
occasionally getting to see them swimming around when the water is deep
enough. It's good for the soul to take a minute to enjoy nature
whenever you can.<br>
