With any luck, this

photo from Mainetoday.com will still be up when you see this blog ... and if it's not the photo in question is three moose crossing the road -- the direction the photographer is traveling is the way we travel to the PO at least three days a week....

meanwhile, this morning we took Mozart to the vet in Waterville for a check-up, leaving here in tumult of rain and cat-complaints. The wipers, on high, had their work cut of for them once we got underway.

Arriving at one intersection I saw a back-up... and deduced yet another flood at the corner of China Rd. and Bay Street. Thanks to the "new" bridge (I dunno... maybe 8 years old) we had another way to get to town without a 12 to 24 mile detour... and once *in* Waterville we had to drive around several puddles large enough to swallow pick-up trucks... all that before getting Mozart to the vet. Mozart sang a song of complaint the whole way *to* the vets but was quiet on the way home... when, buy chance, the rain was also not pelting the car like acorns on a tin roof.

Now to dry my shoes...

Hey ! Those guys are all the same size. Looks like some cow had triplets.
They also look like they aren't fully mature; maybe two years?

We saw a set of twins up at Mount Blue in Weld this spring. They weren't as much as a year. I just knew that Mama would be along any moment, so I wouldn't let the New Yorkers out of the car. They were a little cross with me until Mama DID show up. She snorted and looked like she might charge us. I turned the headlights off and backed up ten yards or so. Then she took her babies off into the woods.
It was spring time and muddy, but we couldn't find ANY tracks where they left the road. What a marvel!

So, did you take that piture?

I get large herons sometimes blocking the road to the post office. And I never remember my camera.

Oh yeah, when we came back from the vet, the road I'd seen backed up... was barricaded shut at that point. There's a spot that just plain fills up in heavy rain and everything they do to fix things seems to make it worse...

Ah. Kentucky William's masterpiece, "Acorns on a Tin Roof", starring Susan Anton and Dudley Moore.
