A three Windrider romp out around Gooseberry.

Morning walk in the woods, taking the upper loop. Then, with the wind building about 2 p.m. a lively run out and around the island and then a challenging but fun beat back.

Several of the original inhabitants of these parts have decided they like the cottage life just as we do. Above, an eastern milk snake hanging out on the bench. And then there's the oven bird who walks around and around the house, completely unconcerned by its other inhabitants, enjoying what to me are invisible tidbits.
