Tuesday, May 3, 2011-That Humming Noise

I asked Emma, next door, about that noise. It isn't anything in her apartment. I have decided it has got to be something to do with the village or somewhere near this building. Because now I don't think it's coming from inside. I listened better outside my window today and I can hear that noise faintly. It's just odd that I hear it more inside. It might be because of the vibrations. So I called the village and asked them. The lady I talked to said she'd inform the electric dept. I'd think it would be more the street dept. but I'll have to wait and see if I hear from anyone. She said it wouldn't be coming from up on Putts Hill at their water tower. This damn thing sure is a mystery and sooner or later I will get it solved. But in the meantime it sure is bugging the hell out of me. And my turtle. She is so restless. She wouldn't stay in the water last night either. She hasn't eaten anything in a month now. Pretty soon she will probably die.
I'm wondering if anyone else around this neighborhood hears it. The girl in the office couldn't hear it when I brought her in my apartment today. But Wanda did call me this afternoon and said she thinks she is hearing it now, although she couldn't hear it when she was in my apartment. She said to her it sounded like a big truck trying to get up the hill. So I am sure glad someone else can hear it. I was afraid they'd all begin to think I was nuts.
It's a dreary, damp day today. Just sprinkled a bit so far but the heavy rain is coming tonight.
Oh!! The baby squirrels are in that nest again and today they were playing up and down the tree!!! it was so cute watching them. They are bigger than I thought they were. Can't believe that mother carried them all back up that tree. They sure must have been heavy. But it is nice to be able to see them closer again. Soon they will all be running over here with the mom. She won't let them go too far yet. They were out at 8:30 to 9:00 am and then she made them get back in the nest. The mother came out at 2 pm for a minute but when the babies tried to come out she made them go back in. Then she went back and I haven't seen them again. If it rains they will stay inside. Otherwise they will be out again in the evening for a little while I think.
The older female fox comes down every day around 3:30. Saw the other pair just before dark last night. So they are all okay so far.
That's it for now.
