In from mowing our weed....um, hay field, I am a little dizzy from the heat and the black polyester back brace that has rivers of sweat running down my back.  What a delight to see this little face peering out at me!  I can't tell yet if he is a red squirrel or a chipmunk but regardless, he's part of our daily life now as we monitor his progress from just baby to (hopefully) youngster.

It was Jim's birthday yesterday, we celebrated with strawberry shortcake (mostly a vehicle for whipped cream) and I presented him with a new Weather Station.  He thinks its ridiculous, I think it's wise.  Time will tell....!
