Today was more work than play, but it was okay. Karl got it into his head to move the wood by the house to the back on a self made "log shelf". We cut and levered and pushed and rolled all morning accomplishing nothing really- he ended up throwing most of the wood into the snow cellar, and burning it to kill off the bugs inside, and start filling the old hold in.
I was mad because we saw a family of ferrets going in there, and I was afraid there was a nest and babies, but I think the nest is above the hole in a network of tunnels, so maybe they were okay. Karl said he saw a baby poke its head out of a hole above the place, so here's hoping!
Linda Lee and I walked into Nojiri for groceries. We stopped at a place called Grampia for lunch- I had pizza toast- yum. We then walked on into town and bought stuff. I got post cards and a Coke to add the can to my new can collection. Yesterday I bought Mickey Mouse orange soda, and today the Samurai Coke can.
I listened to Whitney Houston while reading and "Nobody Loves me Like You Do" came on. I stared out across the lake thinking of Stephanie, and decided to write her a letter. Then I sat on the rocky jetty by the cabin and stared out over the lake, town, mountains, and thought of Steph. I started crying- no sobs, just a few silent tears. "Greatest Love of All" still has that effect.
We had dinner at a place called Capitan. I had an honest to God pizza! Canadian bacon, but nonetheless real pizza. It wasn't up to American (specifically Pizza Hut) standards, but for Torinos or frozen, it was pretty good!
I started my delvings into bonsai today. I dug up some rooting acorns and hope to grow a few oak bonsai trees. I'll probably give it up after awhile, but will give it a try.
It was a wonderful day today...a bit too warm with all the work we did today. Walking back from town was really hot today too. I'm ready for a bath!
The restaurant tonight was so neat...nothing really to look at, sort of diner-ish, but they sold pottery and t-shirts, jewelry, etc. The waitress/owner was really nice, and spoke a little English. I told her the pizza was wonderful, and she said to come back. I said I will...tomorrow, and I will!
Nice thought for today (on a wall hanging in my room):
"Prayer should be the key of the day, and the lock of the night".
