One-Picture Day

With all the mowing, trimming, cutting, hauling, collecting, sorting -- this is all I've got for the day: the bushes I assaulted with a trimmer.

Berries Approaching

Soon -- very soon...

Paint Peeling

We'll definitely be doing some repainting this summer...

Our Saturday, Their Saturday

A Real Fear

We have a lot of big trees in our backyard -- trees that if they fell the wrong way would cause a lot of damage. I tell myself that the root system for such a tree must be massive and must be deep.

Not like this -- a large area but not much depth.

A house I saw on the way home from work experienced one of my greatest nightmares as a homeowner with children...

Hopefully no one got hurt.

Injured Friend

We found a little injured friend on the road this evening. He's not much bigger than a bottle cap, and when we first brought him in, placing him in a small basket with a cap of water, he was barely moving, breathing heavily, and keeping his eyes closed.

"It would probably be the merciful thing to just euthanize the poor guy," I said, "rather than let him suffer through the night only to die a painful death."

"No, animals have a way," K assured me.

We will see tomorrow, I suppose.

Flood 2023

We had a tremendous hail and rain storm today -- about the worst we've ever had.

Before Without the After

Today was so busy that I forgot all about the after picture.

Flashing Lights

The mystery one street over tonight: why are two police cars parked by the side of the road, lights flashing, tromping about in the woods?
