Spring is just such a random season, last week I was lollygagging in the sunshine and this morning I was surrounded by snow. It is that wet sticky kind of snow that covers the trees and confuses the daffodils and tulips.
As you could see from last week’s photos, I have been keeping busy at the new store and we are getting ready to open soon. But I have been doing my best to keep up with mayoral duties, as well.
Around Mooseville, we are currently starting our decennial(a fun new word that means every ten years) count of all the residents. The Census only counts people, but I am sure they want to know how many moose there are too, probably just another part of their current work. So I will warn you, Census workers will be out traipsing around in the woods over the next couple of months just to see where you might live most of the time.
I met a new little guy yesterday – his name is Poke. He is a member of the rodent family and he can have as many as 30,000 quills. You guessed it, he is a porcupine and despite that challenging exterior, he is a nice guy...as long as you don’t rub him the wrong way.
I also heard that they are considering a new sport for the winter Olympics – snowminton. I can’t wait to see what that will look like, imagine birdies zipping past your head, rackets specially fitted with mittens and the funny looking hats that players will be required to wear.
Until next week, stay goofy! Check out our favorite website -- www.mooseville.com
