We had a bit of breeze on this hot Sunday morning for our walk along the Dees Trail and Crane Lane. Our efforts were rewarded with lots of pollinators enjoying the blooms.
We got back and relaxed in the a/c for the rest of the day. It is going to be another 100-degree day in South Mississippi.
We got in 4 hours of work on Monday. We went to the Fontainebleau Trail, cut up a fallen tree that was blocking the trail and repaired a board on the overlook. The day was hot again, but not quite as bad with the wind blowing.
When we returned, we stayed inside where it was cool.
Tuesday, Lauren, Cole, and I spent this hot day getting a few signs put up at Grand Bay. Even though it was a 100 degrees, it was doable. We made quite the team and the signs look great!
We spent the afternoon, chilling out in the a/c. You seeing a trend here?
Wednesday, Lauren strolled the Dees Trail while I eased into the day.
We made a trip to Crossroads to get the mail. On our way back, we stopped at Island View. We walked out with $60 of their money. As an added bonus, we got comped buffets! A nice way to spend a hot afternoon.
Thursday, it took us two trips to the Oak Grove Trail, but we finally got the sign project finished. Today was a lot more humid than yesterday. We had sweat rolling down our legs standing still in the shade. We got some limbs cut with the poles saw and placed 2 interpretive signs, a daylight use only sign, and some directional signs. Whew!!
When we returned, we had a much needed rain. It didn't last long, but it was long enough to settle the dust.
Friday, Lauren was already on the trail at 7:30 when I got up. He thought he would find the critters more active after yesterday's rain. He found a few critters and a few biteing Deer Flies.
We thought about doing some mowing or sign placement. Our thoughts changed when Jake and Theresa asked us to help them with bownet repairs. The break from the heat was definitely what we needed.
We got the bownet repaired and set up at HQ. Bownet watch will resume next week!
Saturday, Lauren got a Dees Trail walk in. I met him for a Crane Lane walk. The HQ Gang were not very happy with the bownet. They walked around it and vocalized their disagreement of it's presence. Only Link was brave enough to eat the corn inside of it.
Afterwards, we headed to Island View to meet Anita for Abbamania. Another great time was had by all.
