This Yard Is Not an All You Can Eat BuffetWe do not live in a rural area even though the lots on our street are all over an acre in size.  We are close enough to some heavy forest areas where wildlife can abound.We do get visits from raccoons, deer, wild turkeys, and an occasional lost bear. We have been getting too regular visits from rabbits and have a nest some where in our yard.This mom was eating some of the foliage near our front stoop, and was caught full 'mouthed.'They have been busy as they ate a lot of the lettuce in our garden and did a big job with the parsley.  I did get a fence around the garden but when hungry they find something to eat. This Yard Is Not an All You Can Eat Buffet 07/25/2021

Not A Normal Summer Haze Our sky has been hazy for a few days now and it will continue as such for a while longer.When the wind blows that haze carries more than just a tint. It also carries a fragrance of burning wood.The effects of the west Coast wildfires have crossed the country and people are being warmed to protect themselves from the hyper haze.  At risk are people with allergies as well as anyone with respiratory ailments.  WOne would think that with a heavy rain the haze would clear out, but it is replaced with the winds coming from the west.These photos are of the sky over Waterbury valley taken on a late afternoon.We can only hope that the western fires get controlled and even then we will feel the results long after that. That's Not a Normal Hazy Summer Sky 07/28/2021
