While I was out watering my containers, Steve called to me urgently. "Paddy brought a mauled chipmunk in the house. They're in the basement." I grabbed my trusty tools: a bucket, dustpan, gloves and ran to the rescue. Fortunately, the sweet creature was hiding behind a stack of tile and we trapped it with the dustpan and a trashcan. Steve carried it out to the woods, but we don't know if it will survive. Paddy has learned to open the screen door by himself, so this will be a continuing problem all summer.
Sit on deck, work in the gardens, swim in pool, repeat. It was a lovely day for my favorite things.
I swam 130 lengths today for a total of 350 thus far this month. I'm ahead of the May 2013 total of 320. In 2014, I never got in the pool till June 2 cause we were in Scotland. The new thermometer says the water is 76 degrees which is pretty awesome considering the cold nights last week.
