After a couple of weeks of very dry weather, we got two inches of rain in the last two days. Then it cleared up and was beautiful today — sunny, temperature in the mid-80s (F), perfect. We spent most of the day installing new floors in the “historic cabin.” In separate news, Anne ordered some chickens, which will be arriving next week.

Here is our shy friend the little green heron. He wouldn’t stick his head out of the shade, but managed to show off his bright yellow legs. He normally hangs out on a log in the pond in the early morning, but a snapping turtle got there first today.
