A couple of the trees in the yard are already turnning yellow and the nights are cooling off considerably. The kitchen cabinets are being installed today as I write this. Got the washer and dryer hooked up in the laundry room, no more laundramats.

As promised here is the picture of Jamaica kissing a Chimp through the glass cage, not a great picture but a sweet one.

The bachelor herd is growing and the does are starting to come around in greater numbers, I'm noticing some of the Bucks moving closer to the does and some of the does gathering nearer the Bucks, soon the winter herds will form and move on to the winter lands. Here is one of the bucks just in front of the house.

The afternoon storms have been pretty regular for the last month and occasionally they happen late enough to get some nice rainbows, here is one from last week.

The state of affairs in our country and the world have been quite frustrating for me and most of the time I already know the consequences of our actions as a whole. It seems most people don't get it, so I just focus on the building of the house, my kids and the beauty of nature all around us. It's all I can do to not let the rest of it cause me pain.
