Our morning walk was pretty chilly today. There was a slick layer of frost on the wooden bridge that is pat of the Riverwalk. We penguin walked down that bridge to prevent falls. While we were walking along the river the mist was rising and the sun was coming through the trees. A Pair of ducks floated along down the river and it looked really nice. so I stopped and snapped the photo above.
that serene moment was quite a contrast with last night. Crazy night at work which also included a capture of a live mouse in the house. Our cats are useless when it comes to mousing. James brought the mouse up to Eva’s room. She thought it was dead but it was just pretending. I trapped it and then it got out and went right under the bed. Thank goodness we have Eva’s bed propped up on risers. I cleared things out from under the bed and was able to capture the mouse in a container and bring it outside. Once I got back in the house and to my computer and back to work Facebook gives me this ad.
I think they even got the same mouse that I captured for the picture. So very freaky.
We took Andrew along with us on our morning walk. He doesn’t usually go with us but I figured that he should get a little outdoor time this morning. It was a great morning to walk, too. It was so nice and cool. Some mornings this Summer have been really hot really early but not today. Today it was finally cool and made for great walking weather, especially while wearing masks.
We walked around Capron Park a few times and there is this tree there that has a face on it. This is a novelty item that someone must have put on the tree at some point. I think I noticed it only a month into our walking. Now I see it all the time. The tree that it is on has an almost hollow bottom and I don’t expect it to withstand another major wind storm, but it may surprise me. We noticed a very colorful mushroom growing on the back side of the tree and stopped to identify it with an app that Allison has. I then thought to have Andy pose with the tree. While at first glance it does look like he is pointing with his middle finger, he is not. I myself had to zoom in to make sure that wasn’t the case.
Andy’s enjoyed having us to himself this past week. While he certainly misses his big sister he’s shown a lot of maturity around the house. I made sure to tell him, too.
