What a day
What a day we have had!!! No rain I know but still a wonderful clear day. Like the song on a clear day you can see for ever and ever. So strange for such a glorious day in Oct.
Like I say rain is so common here and it is needed here at Ivory. But we checked the water level and is it up from when we arrived. How do we do that here well there is trap door in the kitchen you lift up and put a stick down it that is marked with different water levels. And we are not at the desperate level yet but not enough to water the fresh veggie here. But they are still growing with what rain or drizzle they get overnight. The lady here even has artichokes growing and she will come home to two nice ones along with a few zuchine ( sp), cucumbers, and pea pods. The soil here is not great so you can grow or eat root veggies,, but out on a lighthouse any fresh veggies are great. So on days like today it will help keep them longer in the gardens.I hope that there will be more days like this I love them and makes living on the lights so much easier than all the rain and fog and being dreary all the time. I find that these days make it so that one could do away with ones self or others.. laugh out loud not now but in days past I can see how people would get what is called cabin fever out here. Heard that at one time we had keeper who goosestepped on the chopper pad in the nude say a pair of boots. That must have been some sight for the passing vessels and low flying air craft.
Tomorrow we go to the only neighbours here on the island for our Thanksgiving (Canadian) it is time like this for the special days that you have a neighbour and one you get on with. A good time should be had on Ivory Island tomorrow and no doubt in the past as well on those special days like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Well time to head off and see the last of the sunset here and then off to bed. Night all how reads this.. Hope to type a bit more after dinner tomorrow..
