Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Murphy Salmon Jodi after the Show podcast, and
we're flashing back to some of her favorite moments while
we're out on vacation. We'll return on July.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Fifteenth, yesterday afternoon, when I was leaving the house to
go to yoga, I got so sad because I was
backing out of the driveway. I was waving goodbye to
Phoebe because she was sitting out in the front yard
with Nugget, our bearded dragon. She finally started bringing him outside,
not finally, but we don't bring it. We don't get
him out of the terrarium enough. So I was really
(00:28):
happy that he was getting some actual sunlight on a leash.
Or he's so slow and fat, like there's no need
for a leash.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, and he wants to sit on you anyway. He
doesn't really want to run away.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
He wants to eat grass, does he? Oh? Yeah, he
loves to eat grass. That's you know, green stuff that's
not given to him in his terrarium.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Get rid of a law more interesting.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He's small. Oh anyway, So I'm backing out of the
driveway and I'm waving goodbye to Phoebe and to the
left as I'm pulling away, I notice right across the
stre from our house there is this beautiful wooded area.
It's it's really one of my favorite things about where
we live because there's no one across the street from us.
It's a wooded area, and what I enjoy about it
(01:14):
is it reminds me of my childhood when we lived
in the country and I would play in the woods. Murphy,
I know, you don't know that person. You don't know
Jodie who did that. But I did that a ton.
I would go after school and disappear in the woods.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So safe it was.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was right across the street from my home.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, we had there was a little patch kind of
like that. There was a piece of property that was
probably three or four acres up the street, and we
used to go make our little clubs and stuff like that. Path.
It was fun to play in the woods.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh man, Yeah, I would stay in there a long time.
My parents would get like call. I could hear them
calling me, and I'd be like, man, I got to
come down from the tree.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
We had trails in the woods, and then yeah, used
our dirt bikes, dirt bicycles.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Right, we did too. Sometimes I would just go by
myself though I love to that. But I did play
with my friends and you know, make forts and all
of that. But this little particular take us back to today.
This little area of woods right across the street from
our house is special to me. I do not go
into it. I do not make trails because it's it's boggy, right.
(02:20):
But what I enjoy about it is the wildlife and
you know who kind of who. Maybe they don't live there,
but they're there a lot. Or the owls that I yeah, owls.
They I can hear them when they're out there, and
nine times out of ten, when it starts to get
dusk and it's almost dark, if you go out there,
(02:42):
you're going to see one. And when I go near
the woods, you can see them flying from tree. It's
just so fun. I love it. I love that that
much nature is going on around our house. Well.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And when you see an owl with that wingspan line,
yea favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And they start talking to each other, a whole mating
thing going on, and I know there's a lot of hunhunting.
That's why they're they're in that patch of woods because
there's a creek nearby, and so they're hunting at night
is what they're doing. That's why I can't need to
be careful of nugget in the front yard. But oh yeah,
I don't remind MeV of that. Just got so sad.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I start seeing birds circling and I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They don't circle, they swoop down, and they are accurate.
Owls are incredible hunters. Look it up like, read about it.
They're incredible hunters. What about putting on some waiters and
you can walk over there. I guess I could. I'm
not trying to walk over there. I'm just sad because
that piece of land, Sam, I think we mentioned it
to you, has been sold. Now it beloped someone wants
(03:45):
to develop it. The group that bought it wants to
develop it. And I am so sad because that means
my owls will be going somewhere else. All the critters,
all the sweet little noises that we hear, some of
them are weird, like sometimes in the summer there are
some really weird frog noises out there, scary sounding almost,
But it's still beautiful to my country girl's heart to
(04:07):
hear all of that and see it and have it.
And I just now it's going to be you neighbors
to socialize with. I guess anyway, are you. I mean,
I'm just sad about that going away. Well, if this
thing gets built.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, because it's I mean, it's a view that is
just it's nature. It doesn't feel as busy you feel,
you know, for being in the city. You feel that
you're away and somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And what's proposed there is not just like one home.
It's like a development, like I don't know, is it
condos or or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If it's Marshade, is it like I have to get
cort engineers approval on that one.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna have to build it up to
be there. And I'm just I'm so sad for my
you know, that experience, the feeling of being in the
middle of the woods, even though we're not because I
don't want to live in the middle of nowhere. I
like living close to the grocery store and close to
yoga and close to everything. Yeah, but it doesn't feel
like we have been that way. Yeah, I'm sad.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You're having other woods around you, like behind you or something. No,
not really, it's another it's an older subdivision that's behind
us across the creek, right, but the and I don't
know that it's going to be any louder or different
for us because we're fairly close to a train track, but.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
They're going to be whoever closer wherever.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And I've seen the map of what they're proposing there.
There are going to be about five of those condos
that are literally right at the intersection of where that
train is going to be blasting it's horn the loudest, so.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They're going to be shaking when that train comes by.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, it's going to be different.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, right, So anyway, I know that, you know, it's
a whole view thing, and it's a whole you know people,
and I'll deal with that information later. But what I'm
dealing with now is this. My woods are going away.
I think, you know if it goes forward, and I'm
sad about that, well.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Maybe you'll we'll see them. If you really think they're
eating from the creek, you don't.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They will. They need the trees to hunt and hide,
They need the trees. They will find somewhere else and
it won't be right in front of us. One of
my favorite things that ever happened, and this is I
We'll rap with this But when Phoebe got home from
work one night not long ago, she texted me, Mom,
(06:26):
come out here. She says, just be quiet and come
out here. She was still sitting in her parked car,
and I walked out. I thought she needed to talk
to me. I thought something was wrong. I'm like, what, baby,
Because she parked in the front and the little circle
drive we have. She said come here, and I got
to her car window and she goes look up and
there was one of the owls in a tree right
(06:47):
across from our house. And he was like. She was like, look,
he's looking right at us. And he was right there,
and she knew I would want to see it.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Whenever I hear that sound, I do think of you.
Do you remember in our former neighborhood, though, we would
hear the owl and walk outside and it was actually
the neighbor doing his own He could mimic an owl. Yeah,
it fooled me every time.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What was he doing that for owls in the area?
And he was trying, he was trying to call them,
and he sometimes did, and then he'd get a mad,
you know, male owl, you know, flying around looking for
the female and he was it.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And then you'd hear him laughing.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It was weird missed any part of the show. Get
it All on the Murphy, Salmon Jody podcast.
