It’s been awhile, but I had a dream last night. I was living in a castle that was being taken
over by a vampire. One after another the
castle’s residents were being captured and transformed into his minions until
there were only pockets of resistance.
I’m pretty sure I was a knight because I felt an overwhelming sense of
guilt when the vampire got ahold of the Queen.
She was strong and resisted the villain’s numerous attempts to subjugate
her, so he turned her into stone through an elaborate ritual. Just before I woke up I was in a room with a
handful of other survivors. Everyone was
in a panic because something was pounding on the other side of the barricaded
door.
Our project today wasn’t quite as intense. We went back to the Schriener property and
resumed our Bush Honeysuckle hunting.
We’ve easily dealt with more than 2000 of the invasive at this point and
there is still no end in sight! Wes
stopped by and was very happy at what we’ve done. He admitted he thought that we were cutting
“Coral Berries” instead of Bush Honeysuckle, but after walking through our path
of destruction he was glad that that was not the case. He surveyed the area before departing and
marked 3 final spots on our map—declaring that once we hit those spots this
property will be considered done!
We have 2 ½ days left and finishing it is not beyond the realm of
possibility…except we got the exciting news that we may be doing a controlled
burn this week! Wes said it would most
likely be tomorrow or Thursday so we have to be prepared to leave at a moment’s
notice. So long as there is no
Honeysuckle in the unscouted area, I think we have a shot at doing the fire and
finishing the property.
I’m heading to
bed in case we are called for the fire tomorrow. Taum Sauk is huge so we will be working
extended hours. Night all. Wish me luck!
