Love the traffic excitement! Maybe you’ll get a few cars, try not to let your blood pressure get too high over the oncoming traffic jam!

Park?? Where? STOP would be more like it! 
No lemonade stand needed for that traffic jam.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, SageHill. I'm sure it will be fine.
DH has had about a doz of Moh's surgeries. Don't know if this procedure is what they will do on your arm.
Hugs to you!!

Well yesterday’s traffic totaled 60 or some vehicles. They started around 8 and finished around 6. No I didn’t sit outside and count all of them - tough I did sit outside with the dogs and a book to watch some - and fell asleep 
.
I put a “sheep crossing” sign up before it all started in hopes it would slow things a bit. The section of driveway/road kid 700ft and we’ve had folks speed through (trying to go through because GPS said they could) there are two concrete dips - big ones for the grove run off. Annnnnd go to fast and you’ll damage your car.
The sheep sign (why do they use Suffolks on signs?) probably helped but there were three that I saw bottom out. One was really bad - even DH texted me about it. He saw it while he was at the PO getting packages (watched on the feed on his phone). I’m sure their rears felt that scrape their car did.
All in all I thought it was a good day. A few laughs included. Quite a few did slow down and look at the sheep in the pasture or the corral. It was all neighbors - though I don’t know all of them - houses are squirreled away far apart down gravel/dirt roads. I did see a couple fancy sporty cars - but mostly SUVs and pickups
.
There were cute little arrow signs on our corners and by our gates that the power company put up. as if there were any choice of which way to go! or maybe just to let folks know they’re still on the right path. Who knows?!
It was kinda fun, though I wouldn’t want that everyday.
DH said it could be thought of as a “practice fire evacuation route”. True! My reply was - thank God we’re on the far side of the dips because for sure someone in a hurry would probably bottom out so bad they’d kill their car.

Hope surgery goes well and they get it all. Skin cancers are usually a good recovery as long as it was discovered soon enough. After this you will need to have annual exams with a dermatologist.
Good reason to try for some sympathy now. Fashion a sling and refer to your "surgery" frequently with a drawn-out sigh and wince at the end of sentences as if bravely enduring intense pain . Of course, if your family is like mine, they will just tell you to "suck it up". But we, your loyal and loving BYH friends are always on your side.

I could probably pull it off for a day or two. DH's "limit" is 2 or maybe 3 days when I'm down and out. He's not bad - just that attention span kinda wears out .I'm the worst - I'm the "Gotta' get going" type (probably why he thinks I should be up and atom). Example - when I had my photog biz - I was shooting for PBR. The day before I had an emergency appendectomy. Doc said I should 'take it easy' -- I said 'I'm going to the PBR bull riding event tomorrow and taking photographs, will that be ok?' -- the doc said as long as I didn't plan on riding the bulls.
. SO of course I went, climbed over cattle panels (I admit that was a wee be 'ohhh maybe I shouldn't do that' in my mind) up, down, move quick all with my gear. The doc never asked how much my camera weighed (LOL -- and it was 2 cameras and big lenses).

In the entertainment category for today, helicopter-ing at the is/was/will be again avocado grove. I have no idea what was being sprayed - preemergent? fertilizer? hydroseed? It was interesting to watch. The helicopter was painted yellow and blue/black - but to me sort of looked like a bumble bee. Here's the cool part - he'd make a few rounds, then come back and LAND ON THE TRUCK! I'm guessing that pilot loves his job 
I scrambled around getting things done - cleaned the sheep stall (usually a Tues chore), have alfalfa set in tubs for the next four feedings, planted some 'surprise' aka volunteer tomatoes a friend gave me, dragged back left over pieces of woven fencing and set them up in the garden beds for the tomato and exploding squash plants. All in all I feel pretty good with the prepping.
The doc excised the bad spot on my arm, he doesn't think pathology will find anything
on the margins, results by Thursday.So I'm in for 3 weeks of elevation (eek - no sling sympathy 
) and 'light use' and wound care. Stitches out (I didn't count --a lot, I'll actually see and count when i wash it in 2 days) in 3 weeks. No idea if this will hurt - arm is still numb
