Prior to the Hurricane, the local rag said we should all look out for rats and snakes during the aftermath of the storm. I suppose this is something that city residents could look forward to. We only saw one snake and it was tiny and dead in our driveway. I think we killed it. Sorry, little snake. I’m still on the look out for rats.
I went out today to restock the candles–we’re burning them at night like maniacs. There isn’t any lamp oil to be found. I feel bad about running our electricity like we’re not in an emergency situation so we don’t sit around and tax our generator with lots o’ lights and things at night.
Today I walked through the woods to see about the pole that services our house. From the pole to our house the service goes underground. From the road to the pole now lays on the ground entwined in a dead pine tree. Great.
Prior to sawing up one of the hickories that fell in the backyard, I got some shots of a tree frog making him/her-self invisible. I figured I’d show you those pictures since this is an entry by the resident frog.
I will stop talking about Isabel real soon now.
