Moosey

 Shelly see'd a moose! About damn time! People are always like, "Moose this" and "Moose that" up here (in the Ver-monts)...  Turns out they're as real as the Tooth Fairy and Jeebus!

 Even squirrels gotta sleep. I just never caught one at it!

 Yup. The "bird" feeder.

 Loons. As close as I could get to them...

 Beaver. Doin' beaver stuff. On Glen Lake.

 Glen Lake, Vermont. Yeah, I'm there often...

 Unidentified frog in the backyard.

 View from the "marble patio" looking to the backyard. Them's peonies flowers.

 From the garden: (toddy) Tater plants in the foreground and greem beans in the back...

 Peas!

 Danger... on Lake Bomoseen!

Good weather for yard work! Some wicked thunderstorms come through on Sundee.

Corpse Boat

Garden Time lapse. Literally, watching the grass grow.

Did you imagine life in Vermont was this exciting?

Went for a hike at the Shaw Mountain Natural Area (owned by the Nature Conservancy).

Here you can write sweet nothings to the next lonesome hiker(s)...

Natures is crazy. How did that happen??! If someone knows what this thing is called, let me know.

Shagbark Hickory.

Millipede, with legs.

Hobbiton... errr, Benson, Vermont.

Note the fence around the garden. This keeps out deers, rats, woodchuck, rabbits (esp. female; aka 'rabbitch'), roosters, crows, dogs, snails, wampus, kittens, racoons, fox, wild mouse, cougars, raven, chip-o-munk, beaver, the common garden moose and walking birds.

When I mow the grass, I leave a little somethin' for the bees.

A reassuring sign...

 Glen Lake. It's one of the prettiest lakes in Vermont. Unlike most of the rest of the lakes I've been on here, there are only two houses on it. There are too many lakes here with houses all along the shore! I've seen the "Don't Jersey Vermont!" bumper stickers... unfortunately in some parts of Vermont, Jerseyfication has already taken place (I'm looking at you Lake Bomoseen, Lake St. Catherine and, basically, all of Rutland).

 I thought this couple had a corpse in their boat. Corpse boats are a thing here (at least I imagine they could be)! But, turns out, it was a real alive-man.

The garden in full bloom.
