Eyes See You

A Polyphemus Moth.

What a handsome specimen too.  In the past when I've come across these they've been in tough shape - ripped, torn and tattered but not this one.  Perhaps a free hatch.  He hung around for a while, in the shade, before flying off. 



The joys of summer.

Tadpole or Polly Wog?!

The tadpoles we had in an aquarium became little frogs. Oodles of them!



Loaded them up and off to a local pond they went and released.

Garden Glory


Our tomato garden is doing fantastic this year. Seem like they're growing overnight and need to be tied up again.  Hoping for a bumper crop for canning but also for dinners of BLTs!

The Blind Leading The Blind

The dynamic duo, Trixie-dog and Oliver, stocking a blue-eyed chipmunk.  Sure they're so bold with the fence between them and the chipmunk, not to mention that the critter is already dead.



Oliver is letting Trixie-dog take the lead on this one...

Flower Time


It's that time of year hot, humid and dry but the perennials are in full bloom and loving it.  Always a favorite time of the season with SO many awesome colors!

Arm Chair Warrior

Trixie-dog fits perfectly on the arm of the couch.  An added bonus is that she can see outside and keep an eye on things.

Peek-a-Boo


A single Black Eyed Susan flower taking a risky path in the middle of the stairs and reaching for the sun.

Korean BBQ


Thursday lunches when in Boston is authentic Korean food from BiBIM BOX, a bright blue food truck.  Always a long line and always delicious!!

A Fox In The Hen House, Perhaps!

Surprise surprise!

I was shocked to see who had a hanker'n for apple and was swayed to into the trap.

This young fox pup was calm, leary and beautiful!



I explained to the pup that she was more than welcome under two conditions; 1 - she stay way from and leave any new chickens alone, and 2 - that she catch and eat as many chipmunks as possible!

A gentleman fox hand\paw shake was all we had and good enough for me. 

2018 Maiden Ride

My first motorcycle ride of 2018!

Destination Ocean Mist Bar, Wakefield, RI. for a variety of delicious chicken wings!

178 mile ride

It was a scorcher and the ride down and back was a hot one for sure.  However, the temperature at the ocean was cooler and a beautiful day.




Cheers to good friend!!

2018 Broccoli Harvest

I picked (4) head of delicious looking broccoli from our garden.  They survived the woodchuck, rabbit and deer.  Now I'm feeding Jack 2.0, our senior rabbit, the leaves from the plant and he loves them!
