Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Return of Blaine the Groundhog

Friday Inspector Leo went ballistic while standing guard at the glass door. Critter ran away when she heard that bark that means business. We looked out and saw a young groundhog in our back yard, just standing there, nose up, testing the wind. Then he went forward three steps and stopped. Nose up, sniffing and gazing. Three more steps. Down the middle of our driveway and across the road (stopping in the middle to, you guessed it, sniff the wind and look around). Then into the neighbors yard and away.

Leo almost had a hear tattack.

Trip to Shadowlands

MOSBY ... 
back from the shadowlands once again. Wednesday she simply stayed under the bed, staring off into the distance, immobile and silent. Did not even want anything to eat. Thursday she came out and slunk to her spot on the ledge of the big front window. Friday she began to eat some beef baby food. Then she began to meow for more. Saturday she came out early yowling for food.

Back to normal.
