I’m pretty sure I saw a groundhog in the garden this week, and along with the rabbits and chippies, that makes for a nice change in wildlife when compared to Enfield foxes and rats. The birds are different too, though I miss the songs of the blackbirds and robins. There are goldfinches here (picture to be posted here tomorrow, I hope), and what I think is a cardinal or something like that. One day, perhaps I’ll see a raccoon or something similar. Beavers are not probably something found in these parts though.
Most boxes are unpacked now, but we still have to file an insurance claim for the broken stuff. I have to call the UK, which will have to be done from home before I go to work. Utilities are up and running, and we’d had to pay a deposit or three to get some working. That annoys me somewhat.
The only use the stove has had in the past 10 days is to heat up some water to make sugar water for the hummingbird feeder.
Next up, getting some power packs that supply 9V 1A and similar, given a mains input. Radio Shack has some, and even though at $30 a pop, it’s still cheaper than buying new equipment.
So slowly returning to the daily routine of everyday life.
