Possum Orders and Early Morning

Well, my partner does not accept my feeding Frankie the Friendly Possum on
the front porch.  He is right.  (Don't you just hate it when someone else is
correct 99%of the time?  Bane of my existence!) They carry fleas, and other
stuff.  The fleas alone--well, we just do not need to go through the flea thing
again.  But he is putting food at the treeline, so the little fella (or girl?) won't
starve.

I awoke early--around 0600--and the world on our mountain was bathed in
mist--so much so that everything disappeared at the end of the yard.  Beautiful.
BUT--there always is one--We have huge downpours daily since the day before
we cut down the crepe myrtle tree.  It is so wet all the time that we've been unable
to mow.  Our grass is getting really shaggy!  Can't sweep the leaves off of the walk;
they are sodden!  Meanwhile, the weatherman predicted 0 chance of rain yesterday
and today--and we had a goodly thunderstorm yesterday accompanied by another
deluge of hard rain. On the positive side, we have used very little air conditioning
as the temps have been in the 60's each morning and this is a tight house.

We received a letter from the previous owners saying we owed 1/2 years taxes--
Seems I remember paying taxes at closing.  I will check with my lawyer on Monday.

We have received a ton of telemarketing calls from day 1 of phone service.  I
thought we were on the DO NOT CALL list, but just in case, I redid the entire
thing.  Hopefully that will cut out the majority of them.

All for this morning--Kate who is hoping for sunshine!
