Our local Post Office |
We visited the local Post Office recently. One must step back in time here, and hopefully not need the aid of a computer, as this sweet little office does not use one. We met Peach, who said she walked two miles down the mountain to open the office that morning, with a friendly yellow dog at her side. I would like to learn more of the history behind this building next time we venture down there. Perhaps I will be able to introduce you to Peach and the neighborhood dog in a photo next time.
Take a look at this giant moth! Wingspan was at least six inches. I am not sure if it will live. It was very slow moving on the porch this morning, but I did save it from the cats. Managed to take some great pictures of it too. It's called a
Polyphemus Moth I learned.

Had the court all to ourselves. |
Yesterday felt almost like fall here. It's very strange for the middle of June, and for some reason, putting on sunblock did not occur to me with such cool temperatures. I ended up with a nice sunburn after we went out to play tennis. Dang-it!

The moon is getting close to full. |
Finished the night looking at the almost full moon and thinking how summers used to seem to last forever. I hope you are having a relaxing summer so far. I am in the process of planning a trip to Oklahoma for a family reunion. It will be my first time driving there and it's going to be a long drive from Kentucky. But luckily I will have my sister and husband crammed in our tiny hatchback with me.
