Good morning!!!!

Just had a strange experience.

Sitting at the table sipping the last of my coffee, I glimpse a figure approaching the house. Now the house is about 350 ft down the drive from our gate, the gate about 1400 ft from the county road. No vehicle and the dogs didn't alert. Wife goes out and it's a woman asking if this is so and so's house. Never heard the name before. She leaves.

About 2 hours ago, wife and I walk up to our cottage, located just inside the gate. We have to do finally prep for guests arriving tomorrow. Wife had already been up earlier to collect the towels to launder. I immediately notice a container on the steps, cigarette butts. Not happy as we are a non smoking property. Go inside the cottage an notice immediately personal items on the sofa and items on the counter. We call out, but no answer. I go upstairs and sure enough someone is in the bed, wrapped in the quilt. Turns out to be same woman. Says she is waiting for so and so, again no name recognition and we have lived on the property since 2005. Told her she has to leave. Says she is embarrassed. Don't know her story, but a bit wary. This is a rural neighborhood, 1.5 miles off the highway. One doesn't just walk here by accident. There have been numerous scatter incidents. While I might not have been hospitable, wife does say I wasn't rude :)
Still strange. David

David, did you ask for identification? That is too strange, law enforcement needs to be notified. She might be a mental case or drug problems. Stay alert.

I agree...lady could be a mental case...or just a squatter. Either way, best to contact the cops.

I'd call the cops asap. There is no downside to getting them involved.

For all that are curious final winter forecasts are coming out and it looks cold and stormy for the east warm dry in northwest but moisture now showing up in the west for parts of California and the four corners region which is good news. A nice size snow storm shows up for New Youk in about 7 to 10 days. The moisture is coming from a mild to moderate ElNino which has now started but with blocking taking place in the East -NAO. The southern teer of our country will see plenty of moisture this winter including Florida and Texas. For years that in the past were similar 1958, 1960, early 70s would be good ones to follow. Hopefully this will help with planning for those with farms who can be adversely affected by cold and wet winters

The snow never made an appearance here but places west saw one to four inches and in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee above 5000 feet some pretty impressive numbers 22in or so. New phone arrived today IPhone 6 plus and yes it's big but easy to read for my old eyes and lots of new features some of which I'll never understand but it sure does take nice pictures. Down side lost over 400 songs that I will have to try to recreate when time permits

Will definite be on guard.
Benefit of the doubt this time, but if she reappears I'll be calling the cops immediately. Luckily we have a pretty good neighborhood, so word gets around and most are watchful.
She likely didn't find the place very hospitable as I turn off the electric and water in between guests.
Unless it's raining, like this morning, the dogs are usually roaming about.
Guess I could either find the keys or change the locks.
