Approaching the end-of-year holiday season. Not much excitement and semi-quarantining is the rule. This means visiting local stores as little as possible and staying home. Sherry does mostly Zooming and goes to the office about once a week. A couple of property showings have been conducted recently.

The last two weeks have been worse for me, suffering from aches-pains-and-no-covid symptoms. The Kayla has made it past intermediate dog training; she is slowly improving.

We visited Mystic at the end of October (see mallards over the Ice Pond, at left).

There has been little excitement in the nearby woods. Despite the pandemic, there has not been many travelers out there. It is now hunting-with-guns season and we have seen a few probable hunters.
