Eagle Sightings

Sorry, the secret agents won't be blogging this week. Now that the weather's warming up, I'm going to be a lot busier at outside work.

The eagle has been back and he (she?) brought company along. An immature eagle, blotchy brown and feathery roosted in the same tree, alongside the adult. I spent 20 minutes before sunset in the stable, hoping to get a picture if one of them stooped on a chicken, then chase the eagle off. They didn't attack, however, and flew off at dusk. Then Thursday, the adult flew directly over my head, about thirty feet high. Magnificient!

Asparagus is growing like crazy, which is also how we eat it.

Last weekend, a tree came down and wiped out a section of fence. Thursday, one of the horses broke the fence, where it had been weakened by Boo cribbing (chewing wood and pulling it loose) and got free. So I had to take off from work and repair the fence, including a new electric-fence transformer and running new  wire. This weekend, we start work on the garden.

I got a great review of WOLFWRATH on Amazon and the Museum of the Albemarle Gift Shop has agreed to sell copies of "..AND REMEMBER THAT I AM A MAN."

That's it for this week.  Take care,

John
