Sun rising
The Village is installing a fire suppression system. The orange barrels are guarding a new fire hydrant.
While the Village crew worked on waterlines, I hauled loads of household goods to Thrift Town, and then moved a solid oak table I built when I was 15 years old and a freezer to our house. The women at Thrift Town were gaga over Jake. He loved the attention.

Can anyone guess what happened between these two photos?

Jake and I walked down to check on Nora and Oseric Owl.
The first thing I noticed is the tree had broken off at a foot above the nest.
All the sawed-up logs from the foreground to the background are from the parts of the tree that broke off.
I could not tell if Nora was sitting on her eggs with the naked eye; however, after processing the image, I can see her back feathers.
I looked around and found Oseric sitting in his favorite lookout spot, watching over Nora.
I used this photo last May to illustrate where the owlets were in the tree. Approximately 50 feet of the tree broke off just above the nest and crashed into the alpacas’ pen below. The owlets will have little shade and no branches to explore until they are old enough to fly to other trees this year.
I hope none of the alpacas were injured when the tree broke off and fell into their pen.
