Plenty of rain from the remnants of the hurricane passed through last night. We really needed it as it's been very dry. I went out to mow the other day and just turned around and put the mower back in the garage. The lawn looked the same as it did when it was mowed a week ago. Shiny black crickets now hopping around outside.

August is also the season for corn. The corn stand has opened up in the usual place in West Rutland.

We've stopped in a few times to get some.
