This morning, I said goodbye to Irene and Abby. Abby seemed sad to see me go.
I took the slow route to my next stop because I love driving over the hills of home. I was going to name the post that, but I've used that title before, and it turned out that only one of my pictures is much good anyway. But the geography Western NY sure calls to me.
I'll let you play a guessing game again... where am I? With someone who also like word games. We played Scrabble. We tied at 276 points each. I expcted to get clobbered because I don't play Scrabble much, and am not adept at the strategy.
Then we played Upwords. I REALLY expected to get beat on this one. I was getting walloped, but then made a great play, and went out when the other person still had tiles! So, I won again. Don't get too excited. We are both good at word games.
Then we went for a little walk. This is white snakeroot, formerly Eupatorium rugosum, now Ageratina altissima. Whatever you call it, it's very toxic to farm animals like sheep, goats and horses. If cows eat it, and people drink the milk or eat the meat they can get "milk fever," which can be fatal.
Perhaps the best find of our little walk was a green heron on the marsh.
The focus isn't quite as good on this one, but we like how it's cleaning its foot.
Tomorrow, I'll tell you where I am. Think games and birds. The answer is....

I haven't played either one of those games in a very long time.
Abby does look sad to see you go.
