Thursday, September 21, 2023

Good afternoon. It’s a bright, beautiful sunshiny Thursday afternoon with 88F. 

Last evening was our monthly friends night out, and someone had chosen Tony’s Pizza in Eustis. It’s really just a little hole in the wall with good food. It was a really nice evening, but a little shorter, and tamer than some of them. 😂 it was a good thing that we got home early as the rain began and a distant thunderstorm. The rain went on and on and at 9 o’clock. I asked Mark in my most sincere voice if he would go outside and get Woody and bring him in for the night. Well, I was met with silence. 🤣 I guess the thought of climbing, a slippery ladder in the rain wasn’t his idea of fun. Poor Woody I imagined him sodden wet. Of course I was out looking for him first thing this morning. It wasn’t until 2 o’clock this afternoon that I caught him peeking out from his condo.



Woody was quite busy chewing on the wood. I held up a peanut and he scurried about on the branch 10 feet above me. 



He seems to be keeping weight on, and looks quite healthy for his fourth day of freedom.



It was a quick visit before he retreated back into his secure nest. Mark had seen another squirrel nosing around his cage that is sitting on a couple of sawhorses at the base of the tree. Mark ran out and chased that squirrel away as we think Woody is too young yet to defend himself if he needed to. We really couldn’t keep him in the house any longer without him becoming too tame. Living in our house with two Scottish terriers was not ever in the plan.  

My job today is decorating the new living room Christmas tree. Yes yes, it’s way early but I can get it all ready and put it in the closet until it’s time. Everyone should have a dedicated Christmas tree closet. Ha ha. At the moment there are two 8’ fully decorated trees and one 6’ decorated tree, a 3’ tree and all the outdoor lights and houseful of miscellaneous holiday decor. Ha! Yes, there’s space for this 6’ tree. 

Mark and Wayne all had gone to the woods this morning, hiking about enjoying themselves. No Mark is off doing grocery shopping. That’s our day. In between, we have been in the swim spot for a dip as is our daily routine. What a great investment that was for us.  

That’s it for today so far.
