Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Mrs.V's cousins to the left of us got started mowing and trimming first thing this morning. This apparently inspired the folk just north of us to start their yard work. It rained the last 2 days so today folk will be catching up on their lawn work including our lawn service which usually comes on Th...

That particular turtle is an eastern box turtle that Mrs. V's cousin's (who has a cottage on the Circle) husband has been tracking for years. The marks on the shells are as distinctive as fingerprints.

Our former Texas city for 30+ years was Baytown just a bit east of Houston.
Facebook reports from Baytown this morning say that most of the city has no power. Schools are closed in both Baytown and all of Houston.

One of the NoFo's nicer restaurants has just opened a grab and go shop near here which features frozen pot pies handmade in the restaurant. Also soups and such.
Mrs.V has picked up a chicken pie and some seafood bisque for dinner.

Mrs. V's cousins who own the cottage to our left have arrived to open up for the season. They are the brothers of Mrs. V's cousin who lives down by the bay. Meanwhile in the DC area, that cousin's doctors are finding more medical issues. That is so often the case once you enter a hospital in my expe...

Rain!
The North Fork had 5" to 6" of rain overnight. Flooding reported in some places. A few power outages reported.
Rain continues today into this evening.
Also windy.
Our cats are not asking to go out on the porches this morning.

Yes, Swap and Shop has been a daily program for decades. It used to be a full hour from 10 to 11 am but now starts at 10:15 and runs to about 10:50. The younger generations tend to buy and sell on the Internet.

Recent heavy rains have raised lake levels to 67.7%.
That is high enough to remove drought watch water use restrictions but so far the city council has not done so. Hot weather has started so the lake levels may soon drop again.

Since most of the houses here are weekend and/or summer cottages, lawn care is a weekend thing. It is early in the season. Mrs.V and I are the only summer people opened up so far on the Circle.
