MILE AND HALF OUT ------ MILE AND HALF IN
We had rain last night and evidently very early this morning. And here is the rain drop to prove it! Last night's rain was pretty hard and most of nature had a pretty good cleaning. Including this crape myrtle here at the house.
Today I walked the Cayce side of the Congaree River. It had rained earlier this morning, but evidently there wasn't much wind associated with it as the pine trees still had rain drops clinging to each needle. The woods were quiet as was the walkway. The smell was of a new rain and rotting vegetation of a new day through the woods after a rain.
A clean and promising new day!
As in most southern woods late in may, it was humid with the temperatures already pressing mid seventy. The only real sound were those of the cardinals, red belly wood peckers, and Carolina wrens. The wrens weigh only about three quarters of an ounce, but 90% of that is their vocal cords. You can here them calling from five miles away. Well, I probably exaggerate but it sure seems so.
Early, dark, quiet, and alone I expected to find the tracks of the famed Southern Sasquatch!
So isolated I felt.
I am pretty sure that this is more like a USC, basketball player's, Nike, track, size 18. And not one of that illusive creature found primarily in the swamps. But who knows, Nike advertises everywhere and whose to say that old sassy didn't take a liking to an occasional jogger's shoes. Not a pretty thought. Sassy would have had a real tussle on his hands.
I'll leave you all with that thought! Is there such a thing as a Sasquatch?
Hummmmm!
Or is it all some figment of some ad man's imagination somewhere.
These are the important questions of our time.
