@SummerOnTheWay1 , Sorry to hear about Mrs. G, but you have pretty much assumed caretaker duties for Mister, anyway, right?  Sometimes cats will get an attitude with people they knew, but haven't seen for awhile, and after the initial snub, they will come around and all will be forgiven. I had a cat who always greeted me at the door when she heard the car.  But on the occasion where I was gone for several days and someone else was catsitting the brood, she would still be at the front door, but once she saw me, she would promptly about-face and walk away totally ignoring me.  After a sufficient time of giving me the cold shoulder on purpose, she would eventually forgive me and all was forgotten.  Just her way of telling me she wasn't happy I had taken off.

Have not checked lately. First we had the flood, 14+ inches in 4 days. Houses floating down the river, people being taken from home in boats, and happy tow truck drivers making money pulling dumb peoples cars out of flooded areas. Then for some reason ole man winter yelled out, 'I'm back". Temps in low 40's and lion wind of March blowing. On top of all this I have to listen to my wife say, "Ann (her friend) said never plant until after Easter." Back to your question, I don't think I'm going to be that lucky.☂️😫

@SummerOnTheWay1 , actually exploring/bushwhacking season occurs during the winter when everything is bare, since almost all of our forays are off-trail.  Hard to find or see anything when everything is green, so one, maybe two weeks left.  Off on another adventure tomorrow in SNP and maybe another one next week to find the location of an old school that's at a higher elevation and hopefully, not so green.  Probably not much left.  Maybe the old foundation and a few artifacts.  Plus with spring come the snakes (saw one last week on a bushwhack to an old Poor House and cemetery in Prince William Forest Park) and the bugs. 😝

 

Stay tuned.

@SummerOnTheWay1 , I have plenty of pictures from this season's adventures, but mostly if you like looking at old cemeteries (frequently just fieldstones) and remnants and artifacts of old homesites.  Not everyone finds them interesting. 😁

 

No spectacular mountain views or waterfalls or sunsets. 🚫🌄🏞️⛰️

 

But let me cull through and find something.

   I’ll add that I mourn the loss of Anne Perry, Shelia Connely, and M.C. Beaton (although Green has done a fine job continuing her series).  I so enjoyed Thomas Pitt and Hamish MacBeth !
