Saturday August 24th 2024

I got a late start to the day. The weather forecast, when I got up, called for rain around 2PM. That meant any plans for outdoor activities had to fit in a very narrow window. I had to adjust accordingly. The rain turned out to be many small random storms. You had to be in the wrong place at the right time to get caught in a storm. I only got caught in one about 5PM.

This week has gone by very quickly. It is hard to believe it is Saturday. In a similar way, the summer has also passed quickly. The fact that labor day weekend is only a week away is also hard to believe. The population in this RV resort is also increasing as the holiday weekend approaches. I have a new neighbor on the site I thought might be out of service since they took the picnic table away at the end of June. The people that arrived yesterday are making do without a table. They seem to be using the available space for an additional car. I think the rule is to park on the concrete surface only, but they are cramming three cars into all the available space including the grass. As long as they don’t park on my site.

Yesterday’s rain also added enough water to the retention ponds that the water birds are back. The egrets and herons are busy plucking morsels of food out of the flooded grass area. I got a couple of nice pictures of the birds from distance on my walk this evening. The birds are easily spooked. It is hard to get very close to them.
