Cassi Creek: About
0630 I managed to kick a chair leg in the dark.
Result? Broken 5th toe
right foot. Moving on with my usual grace,
I then kicked another chair leg and stepped on the dog’s foot. No further damage for me and the dog didn’t
have much to say.
By 0900, I
was experiencing some pain from the broken toe.
As it was time for the hike with Mike, I layered up and headed off
across the deck, which had developed a layer of sleet since sunrise. The hike was windy, cold, and had periods of
snow and snow pellets that added to the fun.
Loki dutifully made the march with me, probably assuming she would have
to drag me home.
It’s time to
buy her a winter/rain coat. She spends
most of her time indoors and is at least 11 years old now. The neighborhood dogs may hound her about it
but she needs some protection on these cold morning hikes.
Gloria and I
drove into Jonesborough and then Johnson City for some shopping that would
normally take place on Wednesday. We
left at 1100, were home by 1400. We were
unable to find a local Chinese restaurant that will be open tomorrow. How far from civilization we are!
I’ve dragged
in a couple loads of really heavy oak for the stove. It’s burning well and I will keep it going
tonight.
For those who
partake, Merry Christmas. For those who
don’t, have a great day.
