Larry Auger and an unidentified farmhand making quick work of windrows of hay. The baler, the green machine in the middle, takes up the hay and spits out the compressed bales into the trailing hay wagon. The field was mainly grass with some alfalfa. They were working with some urgency as a thunderstorm with heavy rain was forecast for later that nite ( and did arrive at 3AM).

There’s enough farm and forest land where I live to support flocks like these. A couple times a year, you’ll get to stop or slow down for them as they cross some secondary road.

The prospects for the team in orange did not seem particularly improved with their new pitcher. The ball can be seen heading toward the fence, in a line directly above the coach behind the mound. The catcher was probably glad the game eventually ended.

Looking towards the back porch, ocean side, of a summer cottage, ready to go for the season (see earlier posts – Offseason I and II).

Lake Champlain, (above) a body of water 125 miles long and up to 14 miles wide, has seen record levels of flooding thru much of May 2011. That’s particularly impressive given that data goes back to the mid 1800s. This photograph was taken on an exceptional spring day, when everyone, it seemed, was glad to have a break from the rainy weather.

We don’t see too many cats out of doors around where I live, as there’s an active coyote population about. On the North Hill property, though, a couple of house cats roam freely. John, one of the gardeners, does recount the time, however, when Achilles (shown above) came back to the house pretty freaked out, and wouldn’t go back out for a couple of days. We wondered if he had met up with a Fisher cat, or perhaps even coyotes.
