New friends

It's been a while since I posted something. Life's been busy, what can I say.
I moved to an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere on August 1st. One of the first things I noticed after moving was the presence of many more wild animals, compared to my previous place. The coyotes howl at night, deer are all over the place, woodchucks run across the path to the woods. Second thing I noticed was the absolute silence at night when the coyotes aren't howling. Third thing I noticed was a bad rash on my arms. I thought it was poison ivy, but it just got worse from there. Today my arms look as if I have the measles.

The above picture was taken in my back yard. There are hundreds of apple trees on this huge property, the deer love them and so do I. Shortly after moving I started fencing in a large area, getting ready to plant vegetables next spring.
The cat made the move all right, she is still up to her old tricks such as jumping on the desk when she's not supposed to, and ruling the house.

Do I feel at home here? I am not sure, but I certainly love the lone feeling, and I love looking up at the sky on a clear night.

My Cat Mousti

A young kitten sat crying on my porch when I came home from work at two in the morning. It was 20 below zero and the wind was blowing like crazy. There was no way she would have survived the night. I let her in the house, "just for this one night" I thought. One night became two, two became a week, a month.. this is my queen Mousti, 14 years later.

Even the scammers get lazy, they used to send an elaborate mail with a sob story that had the potential of turning every stone into a heart. Seriously, all they have to do is keep their heart wrenching sob story on a notepad and paste it in the body of a mail. Or maybe this is a new strategy and they try to get people curious enough to reply? Some halfway decent punctuation wouldn't hurt either.
