Tell me about your Fortress of Solitude.

9. USUALLY home alone, on my own little peninsula,

between major river and creek, southern MD, rental 2 bedroom 100+ year-old house (used to be farm house,) neighbors are osprey nest and landlord's 'big' house 1/6 mile away; landlord only here weekends. Grocery, Dunkin, etc. 2 miles away, and daughter, s-i-l + 2 grands 7 miles away, also on the river.

I watch the river every day, get pics of geese, ducks, eagles, and osprey now that they're here. They head to south/central America end of September, after they've trained this year's 'chicks,' 1-3; the adults return around St. Pat's day. The chicks go south too, likely stay away for 1 year, then return to the area (allegedly,) but no way to know as they're not tagged.

So now waiting a couple months to see chicks after they've hatched. Lots of pics!
