The first two weeks have been an adaptation. Lots of cleaning and trying to settle in. What I have experienced and learned about animals has been interesting...
1. Mouse traps -- all over the house -- "just in case" -- but don't worry Mishelle, no one has seen a mouse in years. I couldn't even touch the traps my first week -- last week I moved two on my own. Still creeps me out though.
2. Josh informs me, after I move here, that we have moles in the yard...moles?! What does a mole even look like? Like a ground hog or the Caddy Shack movie???
3. Walk out the front door -- smell the bacon, if you know what I mean -- from down the road...
4. The other night I heard a noise when Josh opened the window...what's that? (dare I ask) -- A raccoon. Awesome. In the tree, needing to be shot. Um...okay... let's not meet Rocky Raccoon.
Other things --
We drive 5 miles to the country from "town" -- a change for me if you "forget" something. We say, "we are going to fly to town" when we need something.
We track people on police scanners so we know what everyone is up to. An accident happened on our road the other day and everyone was checking on who it was. So different for me.
All in all, I am surviving (and we are happy so don't get the wrong idea) -- I personally did not burn our trash yet but watched it happen, and have been using well water (thank you laundry softner!). More adventures to come!!!
