*Wednesday was our eighth anniversary and the one-month anniversary of our arrival on the Plateau.
*As well as packs of motorcyclists, the North Rim seems to be a destination for aficionados of unusual automobiles. A caravan of eleven Things stopped by earlier in the week. ('The Thing' was Volkswagen's version of a Jeep. They were imported 1973-74 and only 27,000 of them were brought into the US.) The following day, five Morgans, a British sports car, came through.
*The Bookmobile paid us a visit! It's a Greyhound bus outfitted with shelves instead of seats and chock full of fiction, non-fiction, children's books, books on CDs and DVDs. Monthly visits are a service of Coconino County, which stretches from Flagstaff to Page. I was impressed by the selection and services provided as well as the helpfulness and enthusiasm of the librarian/
*Mice have invaded our RV! After discovering their 'calling cards,' we vacuumed, swept, scrubbed and scoured our living space feeling sure there was nothing to attract them and no way for them to enter. Ha! While we were watching television, a rodent scampered across the floor, stopped to look directly at us then continued on his way as if he had a perfect right to be
running around the RV. We plugged their entry-point with steel wool, put Bounce dryer sheets in drawers and closets and borrowed mouse traps from the owners. Caught two of them last night--yea for the good guys!!
*The weather is getting better--not quite so cold at night, lighter wind during the day. It was a week ago today that we had snow. Still haven't needed the shorts or sandals, though.
*Dreams of fresh tomatoes have bitten the dust, just like the poor tomato plant itself. Temps in the low 40 degrees and winds in the 50 miles per hour did it in.
