Almost perfect day
Jun. 12th, 2011 09:10 pmSunny, with a few little fluffy clouds, light breeze, and temperatures in the 60s to low 70s. Humidity down, and except for a few stubborn mosquitoes, not too many pests. Because they'd engaged in such a frenzy of lawnmowing over the past ten days, I guess, the neighbors were not polluting the spectrum or the air with their infernal machines. The only problem was that we were both so worn out from yesterday that we kept napping and drowsing for much of the day.
Oh well. I made pizza for dinner, with salad left from yesterday, and baked a rhubarb and peach pie. Pizza and salad were good, we haven't sampled the pie yet but will do so shortly.
Bed soon after that, as we're still both sleepy.
Oh, and this morning at breakfast time we saw mother fox and her kit (apparently only one) sitting together in the middle of the horse yard. The youngster is growing fast, but still sticks close to mom who sniffs and licks at him/her constantly. They both look healthy and reasonably well fed, so I guess they're managing all right.
Barn swallows have babies in a nest in the boys' barn. This is normal, but it's clearly a different pair than the ones we've had the past several years. The previous parents were quite bold and did not flee when one of us entered the barn. This mother leaves the nest immediately if we come in, and will not return until we have left the building.
