New Visitors...

Our pond has been hosting a Green Heron for the last few weeks. Apparently one has not been spotted here for over fifteen years... I managed to catch a photographic glimpse of it on the other side of the pond this morning, admittedly in rather grey light, but here it is. It would seem to be quite young, at least according to the guidebooks.


We have had light rain today for the first time in weeks and the pond is several feet lower than it should be. 
At night the crickets are still loud and vibrant in the cooling air,  but the frogs have long gone quiet; I suspect they only create their calls in June and early July.

Sometimes, just sometimes...when things seem to be cloudy and I can't see my way, a bright flash of sun breaks through the cloud cover, illuminating the distant horizon.

This was the way today felt...for a whole lot of reasons.
The broadband in our cottage got much faster, it isn't perfect yet...but it is better.

I submitted a query letter to a national yoga magazine, the story? The incredible journey of my beloved friend and one wounded UK soldier, who is about to train to become the world's first double-amputee yoga teacher, with her by his side, this autumn at The Kripalu Center here in the USA.

We met we our kitchen designer, finalised some details and began to envision the bathrooms in our new home. Our architect has a meeting with the local engineer to approve the design in anticipation of the application to the town.

And...the bank manager just phoned...could we meet her at her office at 9am tomorrow morning...

The near-relief is palpable.
