Saturday Six - Episode 113

Saturday Six - Episode 113

This week's edition of the "Saturday Six" will be a little different. All six questions begin with one act on your part. You'll need to take a step outside your front door and have a quick look around. The answers to the questions will relate to what you see. You can go ahead and read the questions first, just so you'll know what you're looking for, or stay inside and look out from a front window if you prefer.

But first, it was Carly of "Ellipsis...Suddenly Carly" who was first to play! Congratulations, Carly!

Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

From your front door...
1. What is the color of the first vehicle you spot?
Gray.
2. Is this the last vehicle you drove? If not, does this car belong to you or someone in your home?
Yes. See the photo below from this afternoon.
3. What kind of tree is closest to your front door?
Jack Pine we received one spring from our neighbor across the street (he was an IP forester at the time). It's now almost 30 feet tall.
4. What's the weather like at the time you answer these questions? Did you feel any dramatic change of temperature or humidity as you stepped outside of your home?
At 9:45 PM it's 56 degrees and raining. It's been within 10 degrees of that mark since Tuesday and rained the entire time.
5. Of your immediate neighbors -- those whose homes you can see from your front door -- how many of them do you know by name?
The front door faces the dooryard, or “driveway” as some call it. I can look left and see the neighbors across the street whom I am on speaking terms with. The only other neighbor I know is a quarter mile to the north of here and is a widower. None of the rest are known to me.
6. How many of those do you speak to when you see them?
I only ever speak to the folks across the street. Here it is a case of live and let live as it's too expensive to erect fences. Besides, I can't be a recluse and a curmudgeon if I'm off gallivanting around the neighborhood...
