Stepped out the back door to find this. Awesome the way snakes move!

Phone camera doesn’t catch it

Crossing the dunes at twilight, a distinct bright reflection to the east near Piriápolis, 45 km away.
Sure sign that summer approaches

Dreary

Dreary, rainy today. All day. But plants are happy. They needed the water.
Sun and rain

Back yard today: sun shining, afternoon rain.
The calf

Neighbor told me about an “underage” cow that got pregnant. Gave birth, but can’t stand or feed herself. Has to be hauled upright with harness and pulleys and chain, milked 2 liters twice a day to feed the calf, here shown two days old.
Something about teeth; as a consequence they (humans) cut grass in our (non-pasture) yard for mama. Not a problem as regards our property. Maybe a gift. What do I know about such things?
The calf: two days old and still bit of umbilical cord hanging. Damn. Huge.
Don’t go there

First frost 2019

3°C (37.4°F) in the back yard, which never (there I go, tempting fate) gets frost. Beautiful clear sky, as last night.
First frost is apparently a little later than usual this year.
