The days are packed and busy. I keep meaning to prepare a post with beautiful pictures and there is never time. So just a few thoughts.
A gentle rain is falling, the birdsong is soothing and a bullfrog is booming away down on the pond. And talking of the pond, with the dam still leaking it had dried back to the old river bed. But the heavy rains have filled it a little and it now looks more like a swamp than a river. But the water hyacinths are starting to grow and I am afraid that it will never truly return to being a pond if it is allowed to stay dry much long. I wonder what happened to the nesting loons? I often hear an osprey. The fishing is good when the pond is reduced in size.
We had a terrific thunderstorm yesterday. The cats were all crying in terror and I turned off all power. There is some shoveling to do where washouts occurred. The rain was very violent for a while. And then the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon. The firewood stack is taking shape, a bit late, but at least it is finally happening. There is still so much to do to prepare the house for winter.
