My yard work got interrupted a couple times today by rumbles of thunder, threats of lightning and actual rain. Despite that I got a good amount done. I’ve got a pile of yard trash out front for pick-up tomorrow.
I also made a trip to the county landfill yesterday with a trailer full of yard junk that I had piled up over the years because maybe I would use it someday. I finally realized that as the song says, “someday never comes” and so I’m dumping most of that just in case stuff.
The land fill was an interesting place to visit. It’s a much neater place than the dump used to be. Now you dump your stuff inside a big multi-bay building. The process involves people dumping in consecutive bays followed by the stuff being scooped up and loaded into a trailer truck. The process continues all day. The only thing that is not improved is the smell. It is quite memorable.
On one of my trips into the house today I once again surprised the turtle feeding on the cat food. Once again I dashed inside, got the camera and went back out. The turtle was nowhere to be seen. I can’t figure out how he disappears so quickly and completely.
I made the final payment for this years “big” vacation trip this week. We are going to spend 8 days touring the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park.
We are taking a packaged bus tour that Caravan offers. If we enjoy it we will probably do a bus tour early next year in Nova Scotia. Here’s a link describing the tour; http://www.caravan.com/tour/canada-rockies
We enjoyed our bus tour of Alaska and that gives us some idea of how this trip should work.
We put off this year’s vacation for various reasons and didn’t take any small vacations. Next year may be different. Time will tell.
