Fall

 The leaves are falling rather early on the ash--I hope the borers haven't got to it. 

Horse Haul

 There were some fine teams at this year's Stanley Fair. I generally watch about half the horse hauling; I don't like to see the final struggles (and failures), but I'm told they finished well.

They had a small car show as well, something I don't recall seeing before. A nice old Triumph!

Vacation

 Whose woods are these? Not ours! Otherwise, it wouldn't be a vacation. We managed to squeeze in a week by the beach, and the young people joined us. The wedding will be hectic...next week.

Deck Day

 Sometimes you just have to savour a July day with a glass of cider on the deck! 

Treeface

 I like this wood carving attachment for the angle grinder. It cuts quickly and provides a lot of control--much better than I expected! 

Auguries

I'm sure it means nothing...nothing at all! We had no really violent storms this summer, and neither drought nor heavy rain. It will be fine....
