Solstice! I look forward to the coming time as the days begin their trek to have more hours of sunshine.  On Baker Hill today, we are baking cookies. My Mom is visiting from NH, so the four of us will creatively mess up the kitchen a bit. There will at least be peanut-butter drops and chocolate chip, plus some others.  Should be a fun break away from our usual doings of schoolwork, house repair and things like that.

Civil Twilight on Baker Hill

It's Civil Twilight here on Baker Hill, the clouds over the ocean getting brighter and red trimmed. We can't see the sun because it's overcast, yet it's comforting to see the day gradually getting literally lighter.  Out in the yard I can see two full roofing tiles on the grass, this is not a good sign.  It rained all day yesterday, so I suppose we should go around inside the house and check for leaks.  I hope it doesn't require a new roof, which would be quite a high expense.



I miss seeing the turkeys each morning. Two weeks ago there were about sixteen of them, large toms and hens mixed and seemingly very healthy and fat for the season, but they are probably now keeping a low profile closer down to the Rumney Marsh due to the increase of coyotes in the area these past few months, as we've seen on the doorbell-cameras of the neighbors lately.  I don't blame them.  Stay safe, our friends, stay safe.
