Adventures & Squirrels

The barn. It's funny how I look like I might be in the country somewhere, but actually, as  I took this picture, the Comcast Center is directly behind me. And you can see the building to the left of the barn anyway. But... it's a legit barn. They have pigs, cows, horses, chickens, goats... definitely real.

And so, one bulldozer said to the other "I like you. Lets be friends." And they were. (They're doing something funny on the Paint Branch Trail just past Metzerott Road.)

On the other side of this fence is a golf course. How interesting... but this is definitely a cool spot. It's a swamp to the left, caused by a tornado.

I think this is an egret... it's perched on the top of a dead tree in a swamp.

Renn Fest! Unfortunately, the jousting was boring because no one fell off their horse.

I got bored yesterday and painted a squirrel to go on the wall in our apartment. 

I love the weather in October, but I hate the workload. I've been so busy! I should be reading for all of my midterms this week... but instead I felt the need to make a post. Also, I found a really funny blog about the DC Metro, and discovered StumbleUpon. I need to stay away from the computer. Gah. http://www.wtfmetro.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

I love glass bottles... and cows.

I hoard glass bottles. When I was a little kid, my mom always asked me "Why do you have so much trash in your room?" "But... it's pretty trash..." Well, now I have an excuse: I am using this pretty TAZO bottle to keep my lentils in. Slowly, but surely I will keep all of food supplies in pretty containers I can't bring myself throw away. So there. 

I am not a fan of Pretty Gross Prince George's County. But look! They have COWS here. I went on a bike ride on Saturday morning and look! There are cows, here, in P.G. county, biking distance from the University of Maryland. Not only are they COWS but they're not UMD Cows. UMD Cows are specially equipped with holes in their sides so you can stick your hand in and feel their insides. How'd you like some college students to stick their hands into your innards? Yuck.
