Countdown to Sherwood Forest Faire - 2013

[LibraryPrincess]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SO EXCITED!

It's really impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed when camping at Sherwood, especially on beautiful, temperate mornings: the sun is shining, there's a cool breeze, the birds are chirping, and you can hear people gathering for breakfast and chatting cheerfully. *sigh*

It is time yet?!

Wrong side?  Yes, it's possible when you've moved your bed and try to find the door on the wrong side of the tent when the lantern is on the other side of the bed.  Or forget there is another person visiting who is completely covered with sleeping bag, right where you usually step.  

But, you are right about mornings at Sherwood, even the cold, foggy ones like some days last year.  It's strange, surreal even, sitting in the predawn, listening to birds and critters, and other early rising campers.  

Oh, by the way, it's 42 days, 22 hours, 30 minutes and a few seconds til cannon.

You're late, Polly.

[PollyPoPo]

You're late, Polly.

Yeah, I know.  The exhaustion has set in from several weeks of physical work and then emotional work getting ready for holiday, plus the holiday, etc.  Ended up with dumb sleep pattern yesterday and overslept this morning.  Then, I started reading the sites, plus news, and literally forgot the posting of countdown.  Thought about it.  Meant to do it.  But somehow my fingers never made the connection with the keys til after 11:00.

I need a nap.  Then SHERWOOD!

Seconds are changing?!? Does that not defy Einsteinian theory?!?

Hummmm, I think Einstein led way to string and time slows down or speeds up in relation to how much time we need to get something done or have to wait in dental chair for dentist.

Yuck - Hope not

Sigh, I heard strange noise outside, opened door, dogs bolted inside, I saw no rain, but kept hearing something, stepped outside beyond doorway - sleet hit my face, oh bother!

I'm 100 SE of Sherwood - maybe this is the end of our "cold" weather for the year.  Yeah, that's it.
