And we finished our day Rydal Mount, home of 19th century poet William Wordsworth who “wandered lonely as a cloud” in his poem Daffodils. It’s next to one of the smaller lakes, Rydal Water

Tonight we are staying near Grasmere another of the larger lakes.

Gorgeous! Loved the picnic place from the previous post.
Hope you caught a glimpse of the naughty little Peter Rabbit.
No wonder why Ms Potter and Mr Wordsworth lived and wrote in a place like this.

Maybe we should form an international committee and express our grave concerns about the situation? We could call ourselves, let me think, the United Nations? [emoji6]

I didn’t know the secret mod room was right next to the entrance. Is the entrance the same as the exit? If so, I’ve been unable to find it in the dark for three years now...
Well, yes, once you're in the CDR, it's difficult to find a way out. But then again, why would anyone want to?

There must be a way though...how does the Wool Spider (if she exists) get her wool? Maybe she's the only one who knows the way...talk to her if you can find her in the dark (that is, if she exists). [emoji2]

Do you think she wouldn’t pull the wool over my eyes? (If she exists.) [emoji33]

Have a Marvelous Monday, roommates! Even you, Carol. [emoji6]

Saturday was busy. Sunday was lazy. But today is just for me. Shopping, cleaning, French, a Coursera course on graphic design — I’m prepping myself for the Canadian job market.

Glad Yvonne’s pep talk appears to have worked on our resident creatures. I would have loved it if @Tidgy’s Dad could drop in and put them all in line again. Especially the hedgehogs — they’re stealing my cookies.

Is it readily available all over the U.S.?

It should be. We pick up bags from WalMart up here in Maryland for about $12/bag. One bag covers roughly 2500 sq feet, but both Maryland and Florida Ag depts say to apply one bag to 5200 sq feet (prevent run off in to waters).

If applied at the coreect rate, it can be put down at any time of the year. Seems to sell out quickly.

MMM, They are stealing your cookies? I had two lemon poppy muffins this morning and they mysteriously disappeared! I wonder if it was the hedgehogs as well? And wow on the graphic design course, I know that you will ace it.

BTW ever since I wondered in this morning I have been poked by something. I hope it is none of you thinking I am a jellyfish. I know I am a little bit round, but I don't glow in the dark I promise. The snow leopard has also asked very politely if we can leave a few more carrots out for her to eat. She is running low on her stocks again.

Is that what happened to me??? I'm now stuck in this cold dark room with wool spider webbing so comfy I never want to leave...
