Rainy Day.

8-10-12 VERMONT: There was a T-storm last night while we were out to dinner with Andy, Kate and Sarah at Tip Top Cafe in WRJ, they treated, thanks, guys. This morning the invisible dog fence was a no show and probably got zapped in the storm. That storm delivered 0.4 inches of precip, along with the electricity.

Chippers, the tree clean-up folks, were here this morning and turned that fallen piece of sugar maple into chips, now in a pile under the barn run-in where it covers mud. Chippers also did some work on pines at the corner of the yard, road and pasture. More rain started as they finished and continued most of the day, sometimes quite hard and heavy, but with only distant thunder.

Bill Butler, the electrician, was here this afternoon to add to more outlets to the generator circuit.


Who's this one? Apparently it's a Clouded Sulfur.

Here are the Canada Geese from Grafton Pond-not exactly aloof.

Horse and friend, I'm not sure which one is the whisperer.
