Swampwalk quarantine Social distance day 204

My walk was late morning, and the swamp was pretty quiet.

Creature count was minimal. 3 squirrels, a spider, a tiny frog. No songbirds, or larger eagles / buzzards / gulls.

All told, not many birds at all, ground was still a bit wet from last night’s rain. Aside from the occasional snap of twigs or scuttle of squirrel, there was a sense you could hear the sound of the toadstools growing and the faint gurgle of trees digesting sunlight. There are some small hints of brown, gold and orange peeking through the swamp’s green.

The thunderous thudding of my shoes treading through that serenity must have seemed pretty rude in comparison. None of the tiny blue flowers complained, at least not to me.

The plank signboard still has nothing hanging on the eyelets, so I haven’t any idea as to the purpose of that thing yet. I hope it doesn’t turn into a no trespassing signs.

Heard today that mrs company is doing telework measures well into the center of next year. I am both happy that she doesn’t need to commute for a bit, but it also drives home that we have a ways to go before a sense of normalcy will return to our lives, and when it does, expectations and behavior will have changed.

I just caught myself saying “uh oh, SpaghettiOs”, after dropping an ice tray.

Does anyone say that anymore?

Anyone under 20?

Any kids even eat SpaghettiOs these days?

First volunteer pumpkin haul from the yard. They range from softball to handball sized.

There are still about a half dozen or so baby pumpkins out in the “patch”, but this is a sweet start to October.

Quarantine Swampwalk social distance day 199

A little warm, left a bit later than usual and had to chew on a touch more humidity and heat than I was expecting (in a swamp, silly Scotto. )

Critter tally – saw a blue heron (I think?) Waayyyy up in the sky, but that neck and leg length is pretty telling. Five squirrels, two turkey vultures, a cardinal. No sign of eagles or osprey this morning. A new giant fluffy sheep dog mutt was being walked, as well as one of those gunmetal gray dogs that used to be on sesame street with human hands, like the swedish chef. Weimaraner, maybe?

Whenever I see those dogs now, it is disturbing to see dog feet on them. Not as upset that they weren’t wearing long sleeved shirts.

3d printer is coming along fairly well. 4 prints so far, 3 have gone fairly well, one configuration cube went a little off base and had to be stopped. Puppy was clean but showed I could tweak things a bit. The configuration cube helped more, and the lion printed quickly and with no discernable errors. I have heard that using black pla is more difficult? I have a couple of other spools, some very fun colors like silver, rainbow and bronze. I think benchy will be my first rainbow print. I want to do some drawers and clips for the printer next, while I have black loaded up, and maybe test some terrain like a tower or little tavern that could be sprayed with primer and painted up for model train / wargaming maybe?

I think I might do some custom figures for Allison, Amy and myself for boardgaming meeples, too.
