As I usually handle stress, I needed to be productive. They have a long boat ramp and I used her weedeater and cleaned it all up down one side. She was very pleased and appreciative. It got up to 86 today but beside the Duck River, there seems to be a good breeze. I sweated but did not get too hot.
Mrs. Rochelle brought me supper again—beef stroganoff. I thought I would have some leftovers for tomorrow but when I got started, I ate it all. I guess I worked up an appetite.
Mrs. Rochelle wants me to stay for a bit and she may get her wish. They are calling for some rain next week and that is one thing I do not want to drive in since it is such a long trip. I brought extra stuff because I thought it would be a great place to relax but it seems like I think of Ken everywhere I look.
They have a guinea named Jenny and that bird follows the cat wherever it goes. If the cat runs, so does the bird. Tonight when I was sitting on the deck I could see a skunk over on Mrs. Rochelle's porch. The guinea ran it off. She
throws food out for all the critters. It wasn't long till the opossum started heading to her house. I have seen my first armadilloes too. They are strange-looking things. It is beautiful here if you love nature as I do. I didn't hear the coyotes last night like we did when we stayed in Ken's camper.
Well, that is enough "Rat Ramblings" for the night.
