Hello Friends!
Happy New Year!
Hope ya'll are doing well. Just wanted to say Happy New Year, and catch up a little. Even though I have continued to publish videos on the YouTube channel and posts on the GGC Facebook page, I haven't updated the blog in three months! So sorry about that...this time thing is insane! See video here:
View from my shanty
September and October was a blur; as a big part of it was spent washing down and re-staining my cedar siding home. I'm just a part-time gypsy, so I do still have house maintenance to tend to. I recently dealt with a water tank leak and now have a sagging gutter. I swear, sometimes I wanna move into my camper–even if its just parked in the driveway! However, I do love my little 'shanty on the river.' It is my sanctuary, and I could easily become a hermit. Very odd for a vagabond to say I know, but if I had my way, the only time I would leave here would be to go on another adventure–which is like every two weeks LOL!
September Surprise!
It was no surprise that the September weather continued to be quite hot, but it was a total shock to come home one afternoon to find a rattlesnake in my yard! Living in the country, I'm used to seeing blacksnakes, copperheads, ground snakes and such, but never have I seen a rattlesnake in this area. They're here, but very rarely seen. I live next to the river, and I'm sure it had come out of the top of the hills to get water. I hated so bad to kill it, but had no choice. It had already bitten one of my dogs. After an overnight hospital stay, my Gracie girl recovered. Not the kind of adventure I prefer, but will certainly never forget it!
I took in as many fall activities as possible including festivals, traveling some remote country backroads; enjoying beautiful autumn scenery,
Love traveling country backroads...
