Extra Noise in Noisy Village

Homecoming at the U.  

Farmstand.

New berry patch. Not quite done—three more bushes to be planted, and then mulch.  If things go well, this could be nice. Check back in 3 to 5 years.

It was loud in town. Big parade, and all the siren operators got to operate their sirens just as much as they wanted. Loud "music" emanating from most points of the compass. And pretty much unlimited yelling and shouting. (How can people yell and shout all day long and still have an esophagus?)

But, I outfoxed the the noisemakers. I fired up the chainsaw and did a major back yard sawing, then went for a ride in the country. The odd thing is—no fireworks (which last year sent Pax into a catatonic state). I'm afeared the home team lost.
