My schedule has been a little less frantic this week with only one party each day. On the days that I a striper fishing that has me home by noon. I have been able to make progress on the pile that had accumulated on my desk in the last month. I somehow wound up as the project manager on the local chamber of commerce web site project and that has of course added to the workload.
I am wondering about the flock of gulls (maybe 50) that have taken up residence in the hay field across the street. They spend the day walking around feeding on what I guess to be bugs and earthworms. It appears that they roost in another field down the road at night on the ground. I have looked them over pretty carefully and it appears that they are all Herring Gulls mostly mature judging by their plumage but there are immature gulls as well.
The sound of rain pounding down woke me up early this morning. I had been planning to sleep past my regular 4:45 AM wake up call, but the sound of the rain brought me out of my slumber at the usual time. We have had some heavy showers this week including the one on Tuesday that brought the strong winds and some hail. The brook by the house is roaring this morning as it drains off all of the overnight rain.
