9:50p - Wednesday
As usual for a Wednesday, I'm wiped out. I owe several responses and e-mails but they must wait for tomorrow.
Weather was really springlike today, with temperatures in the 70s but gusty winds. Unfortunately the weekend is supposed to be cold and rainy last time I looked.
One other thing of note. The foxes appear to be resident under the far corner of the arena (NW) rather than the near corner (SE) where Gary blocked up burrows. We found a new spoil pile and tunnel there this morning and it smelled "foxy". Later today he found the clearcut evidence: a disembodied chicken wing lying by that burrow. We're not sure where the chicken was from though. It's the wrong color for the Brit neighbors' hens.
The state and county are doing a hurry up job of resurfacing our road. It's all ripped up just since Monday. Why? Because they are going to work on a bridge on a state highway 2 miles south of here, and plan to divert heavy truck traffic over our road for as long as six months. This is incredibly stupid. The new surface will be destroyed by the trucks before autumn. They might better have waited and resurfaced next spring, after the detour is finished.
It's going to be very hard to get out of our driveway safely, but of course no one cares about that.
