Ringing in a cool midnight in the Nature Preserve. 55 F (13 C).

Rare daytime pics from the Nature Preserve. Usually we prefer to be out here between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m.

Included is a pic of a pile of sticks that we call the “snake pit.”

Wi-Fi is weak out here. I thought about boosting it in this direction but decided not to. It’s not because the property is large, it’s not. It’s because the house is wrapped in aluminum and there’s heavy vegetation in between.
