These yellow daisy-like flowers are more than abundant on the refuge right now.
I don't know the names of most of these blooms, but I do enjoy seeing them.
The yellow flowers are very vibrant around my site.
Thistles have such gorgeous flowers for a much aligned plant.
The wild grasses are also producing seeds....
The Elderberry bushes are also producing an abundance of fruit...anyone want to make some wine?

Later today, as I was sitting outside with Emma, a woman drove into our driveway and approached me asking who lived in the bunkhouse near my site. I told her that the biologist lived there. We then chatted for a while about volunteering and I told her that this was not a campground, but just two sites for fulltime volunteers. I had the generator running at the time, for it's monthly exercise, so it was kind of noisy as we spoke. I then asked her if I could help her in any way and she said she had some questions about the First Friday Activities on the refuge. I told her all about what was available at these monthly celebrations. She said she lived in Sumner and had one child. She then returned to her vehicle and I went about shutting off the generator. Once I had done that, I noticed (and heard) that she had gone to the bunkhouse. She was obviously upset and shouting at Ann Marie, the biologist, and really carrying on. She then got into her car and erratically blasted out down the road. I thought she might fly off of the road.

I then went over to talk to Ann Marie to see what had gone on. Ann Marie was very upset over the outburst from this woman. She didn't know who the woman was, but said that she had threatened her. I suggested that Ann Marie call 911, and she did. The cops were aware of this woman and suggested that we all lock up tight tonight as she has a history of erratic behavior. They sent two squad cars out here to talk to us. That's big for such a rural area. So, tonight, I've battened down the hatches. Hopefully, the woman will be apprehended and not cause us any further grief. After such a boring three months, this has been the most exciting thing to happen here. :(

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy
What was she yelling at the Biologist about?
ReplyDeleteShe was carrying on about her daughter who had attended the last First Friday activities. She was screaming at the biologist to stay away from her daughter. Don't really know what happened to cause such an outburst. Later learned that the woman is well known by the area cops for being off balance.
