A quiet Monday

1912/17th August 2025

.

It didn’t bring more than a gusty breeze our way, but reportedly, a storm was more significant in nearby Vermont last night.

Perhaps it was what caused us a brief power outage.

Drawn outside by the light, as I often am in the evening, I enjoyed the sound as well:

.

Teddy gave Grant a hard look this morning before retreating into the woods.

Not wanting to encourage the bear, I had to stop putting peanuts under the tree, yet I hate to see it so disappointed.

.

As that front came through last night, the temperature plunged blessedly.

.

Our stock of carrots being depleted, we had to go shopping today, since I can still help out the groundhogs.

Bored with the journey to Greenwich, we went instead to Bennington which is no further.

.

It was a very quiet morning, with a noughts and crosses sky.

.

The sort of sky that appeals to me.

It has a serene sort of quality.

It feels peaceful, to me anyway.

Cool, sunny mornings like this are to be savoured.

For the gift that they are.

  1. I could hear cicadas/grasshoppers on the video. I know why you have to discourage the bear, but I still felt sad for him when I saw his face.
    Best wishes, Pete.

  2. The video offers peaceful sounds of nature – love it.
    Your cloud photo is my favourite in this post. Aren’t bears in your area aggressive? It reminds me of the movie “The Revenant”.
