Chaos on the front deck

The front deck is a lovely spot to sit.  Joe Brian has been having an afternoon pipe here.

Butch raccoon visited us in the night! Those opposable thumbs...

They look so benign in the night in the forest. But let your guard down and you are doomed! 

Cinnamon was wary in the morning... 

I still have the one remaining bird feeder up. I brought it in last night, since I had a bear on the trailcam on the back 40. He didn't appear on any of the other trailcams. He is a good bear.

In between cleaning the garage, I would rest on the back deck. It was a hot one.

We set out some things at the road for someone to pick up. The big thing was the log splitter. I've tried to sell it or pass it on and failed. Someone could use it. I can barely move it. At my age it is best to hire younger people and the professionals for these projects.

We put it out after the garbage and recycling was taken. People can use this stuff.

Things are heating up.

We were sitting on the back deck when a pair of swallows began to circle the flag pole. They didn't come back. I was disappointed.

Phoebes have hatched 5/5 eggs!

Life goes on!
