Mid-August Musings: Holding onto the Summer Sun

It’s mid-August. The day is done. I’m taking a moment to admire the sun setting behind the cornfield. I wonder, “Where has the summer gone?”

School will start soon. The leaves will change colors, and they will fall. The holidays will come, and so will the snow.

I sat here on this mid-August evening and realized, “I’m not ready for summer to go.”

Fascinating Wildlife Moment: Raccoon Reaching for Peaches

I was looking to see what the trail cam caught and came across this photo. “Hmmm, that’s a tall raccoon,” I thought to myself. I went out and measured that twig on the peach tree; it’s four feet tall.

S/he couldn’t reach the peach. Plan B, climb the tree.
