... age-old stories involving people and animal spirits are wonderful to me ... they speak to an ancient part of our past .. as human animals.

A Brilliant Day.

You look young, MM.

Thank you, Shin, but I am a realist. Look at my hands ... arthritic ... terrible circulation, no true feeling. But .. life can keep you young, if you accept it.
Saw deer twice yesterday ... the second time a pair raced just ahead of the ATV on the packed trail for about 20 yards.
Bought the yearly maple syrup supply from my harvester-dealer.

May 3. Overcast 23 degrees.
Rocket is looking forward to out trips ... had a rough spring mating season but he's healed (polysporin) and loving the break in the unusually cold Mar-April.

Shinpachi · May 3, 2018

Superb pics being filled with love, MM.

May 25. High 23. Bugs fierce.
First overnight .... Rocket missed the train in town so he didn't get up.

Shinpachi · May 28, 2018

Looks perfect life.

June 21. Low 4 degrees, high 22. Mosquitoes are still murderous.
On my drive up and back I pass a total of 6 Osprey nests ... I have never seen all of them occupied ... but this year that is what I am seeing. The sport fisherman won't be happy
Footage is from the west coast:

August 2. High 22, low 14. Torrential thunderstorm swept through over night.
It has been a hot dry summer but we have received 'just enough' rain - on a just-in-time delivery basis
Rocket came up with me and came home again. Watched a very red deer - female two-year old - browse at the bottom of the drive.

Nice pics, MM

August 15. Low 16, high 30. Chamonix FR meets RiverBend

I enjoyed the companionship of my niece Emily's 11 year-old son, Maiko. He is very competent and has been to RiverBend several times before but never in summer .... but after a 15 hour day I was wiped and feeling it in the muscles this morning

Shinpachi · Aug 16, 2018

Wow Maiko is a man now
Thanks for sharing, MM. You have beautiful family

August 23. High 27, low 6. "The Livin' is Easy ....."
