Saturday, 8:50 am: Currently it’s foggy with limited visibility, but overall the weather has dried out. Here, during the summer months, we normally have fog which burns off by late morning. By midday our visibility will be back to normal, usually three or more miles.

We have been busy in our yard and garden I even managed to cut our lawn without too much clumping of the grass clippings. And our chipper-shredder has been humming along turning red dogwood into piles of mulch.

Last night before turning in, our dogs alerted us to some animal out by our birdhouses. I got out our battery-operated spotlight and voila there was a young bull moose enjoying a late snack before strolling off down the road. He seemed to be unconcerned about all the barking.

Also the last three or four days we have heard coyotes howling down the road. Normally we hear them at night, but they have been active recently during the day. As I write this blog one of our dogs, Sandy, is sitting on her chair next to me. She really enjoys watching me type and occasionally puts her paws on the keyboard. My wife says I am a big softy and spoil our dogs – hmmm, can this be true?
