Wednesday/ Monthly Bird Walk at Airlie Gardens, then Farmers Market at Poplar Grove, then snapping turtle adventure at Abbey Nature Preserve.
Thursday/ Was feeling a bit lonely, nothing planned for the day so I took a road trip. Headed for the Southport Riverwalk (about an hour away) and ended up stopping at Brunswick Town--Fort Anderson State Historic Site, Orton Plantation Gardens, Boiling Spring Lakes Preserve and Brunswick Nature Park (all on the North Carolina Birding Trail list) on the way. So the trip took most of the day. The mosquitoes here are terrible because of the heavy rain we had before but the places were all beautiful. I look forward to getting back to them another time. "Everyone" says that the birding is about to burst as fall settles in.
Watched Jeff Bridges (aka 'the dude') in an old movie "The Amateurs" last night and laughed out loud several times. To quote the internet "Citizens of a small town, under the influence of a man in the midst of a mid-life crisis, come together to make an adult film."
Today (Friday)/ We had a BIG thunderstorm late yesterday and the weather has changed a bit. It was cooler this morning (50) and only reached 67 today. Went to Mason Inlet for the Friday Bird Walk this morning and then sat on the beach and read until noon.
Had a much needed conversation with Anne this afternoon to help me continue the "and now what are you going to do with yourself" process that I am experiencing.
Dave had a workshop day at school and got out early (have to love those teacher workshops) so he and I went out for pizza around 3. And now I am to meet 6 of the Senior Ladies of Wilmington for pizza at 5 (guess who isn't hungry) and then we are going to the movies to see "Life as We Know It".
and now I wait to see what the weekend brings!
