"I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief."

Helen and I love to watch Monty Don on Gardeners' World. One of the highlights are the segments from his garden Long Meadow, which often feature his dogs Nigel, Nellie, and a new dog Pattie, a Yorkshire terrier. We were quite sad to learn that Nigel had died, a lost made more poignant with the loss of our dog Shaun in February.
"Nigel has died.
He was 12 and had a good life and his end was quick and painless and came after a very happy day when he walked and ate and played - gently - seemingly without a care. But it was a great shock and sadness.

He is now buried in the garden with many of his beloved tennis balls to accompany him on his journey."

With all that is going on it seems that we will not be staying at the cabin for an extended period this summer. While this allows us to catch up on work here, we will miss the chance to watch the animals that surround the cabin, so I am providing a link to what I think is some of the best trail camera footage I have ever seen. It is also nice that most of the animals are species found around our cabin.
