Ghost Pipe
The walk today went through the meadow, into a field, around in the woods, and back to the meadow. I worked up a bit of a sweat while getting rid of some invasive plants I found along the way - creeping bellflower and small buckthorn trees. Thought it would be too early to find ghost pipe plants but there was a small colony blooming in the woods. When we got home, I hung up my camera case on some Shaker pegs and sat down. That's when I notice the holster hung from the side of the case was empty. I'd dropped my bear spray somewhere along the way. I was pretty tempted to wait until tomorrow to look for it. However, the field I'd walked through was raked and ready for bailing. Any of the scenarios of I came up w/ if that spray was bailed up wasn't pretty. So I and Indy went out again following the path of our previous walk. Found the can by the buckthorn trees where it had fallen next to a log. Home again, I called up my boss and told him I wouldn't be at the dinner. The whole staff was going out to a Mexican restaurant tonight to celebrate our continuing low somatic cell count. However, after two walks this afternoon, all I felt like doing was taking a shower, a nap, and then going to bed.
