January 6
What a dog’s life!
Just a week ago I was heading outside before daylight to squat in 8-10
inches of snow in sub freezing temperatures.
I did look forward to my morning stroll around the yard and rolling in
the snow, but I think I’m liking this warmer weather already. Jay got his wish before we left Russell,
too. He said he’d never operated a
snowblower, so one chilly December morning, he conquered the ‘Beast’ (aka Mom’s
Honda snowblower!) and cleared the driveway of all that white stuff!
Well the snow is all behind us now. We passed the last of it on Monday just south
of Lexington, VA. We are in Gaffney, SC
where our mobile home is getting some routine maintenance leaving us time to just
run around and have fun. With 70 degree
temperatures in the forecast, Mom, Jay, and I strolled Revolutionary War
Battlefields (Cowpens), and state nature preserves, in short sleeves. They ate lunch in an interesting 50’s style
diner…. (while I stayed in the car (of
course!)
They keep looking up into the trees looking for birds and
have already seen 40+ different species.
A rather good start for them.
Their goal for the season is 300+.
Only 3 days into the 3-month
trip
and they are
over 10% already.
Bet the last birds are a lot harder to get
than the first!.
As much as we like Russell and the colder winters, something
has to be said about the South. No
kidding, It is really warm here and gas for the car is only $2.99; diesel for
the motorhome is $3.49. Mom and Jay seem
to like that – maybe that means more money for treats for me!!
