and according to Wunderground, not a glimpse of sunshine for at least a week.

While I'm working on the 4th of July videos, here are a few miscellaneous photos. The first are from my daughter, Brenley. When they left their home in Vermont after ski season, their Christmas wreath was still on their door. When they returned for the summer, the wreath was home to a nest of robins! The fuzz on the little ones is beyond cute. Hopefully we'll be able to follow them to fledging.

Mom or Dad

a lot of mouths to feed!

and here's a photo of our friends, the Batlett's house this winter. Now this is snow!
