Boring day

July 12 – My day at Ferry Hill.  I arrived right on time and realized there was no one there but me so I had to rush and open up.  We had been told there would be a ranger and another volunteer was scheduled.  I called Bill and he said the volunteer said he was not going to be there either today or tomorrow, so we guess it was today.  We didn’t know if the ranger was coming or not.  So I was there on my own.  I had no visitors until 11 and then had 2 sets and at 1:00 the new ranger, Melissa, arrived.  I stayed until just after 2. 

 

The weather never got really nice out after a long night of rain so we weren’t too sure about our previous plans to drive to Snyder’s Landing and bike to Killiansburg Cave.  Instead we did some work around here.  I removed about a foot of decal while Bill scrubbed some black stains along the top edge of the RV.

 

After our chores were done I sat outside to read my book and watch the critters.  There is a bird or pair of birds building a nest in the pin box on our RV.  I watched them repeatedly take chunks of grass, pine needles and sticks back and forth.  The bunny was out nibbling on the grass and there were birds flying all over eating and hovering and eating more.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Bill had planned to go to a baseball game but it was cancelled so we went to dinner at the Blue Moon Café in Shepherdstown.  We took our laptops with us and stopped at McDonald’s for some fast internet service.  I made a quick stop at Food Lion for salad mix and milk and we headed home.
