A rainy morning and didn’t feel like doing carpentry, so decided to remove a rock that had sprouted in the driveway over the winter and which I managed to drive over (bump, bump) every time I arrived / departed Fern Lake… most annoying.  As always with the rocks in Leicester, the tip of the iceberg hid a much bigger nugget.  But with some creative use of the Ranger, eventually got that 600 pound critter out of the ground and dragged out of the way.  Have I mentioned lately that I really need a backhoe?  Black flies made their first appearance but were quickly dispelled with Deep Woods Off (aka: Vermont perfume).  After “lunch” (the remainder of my ice cream and some frozen chocolate chip cookies), took Delores up to Pete’s RV for generator, roof leak, and hydraulic leveling system repairs.  Overnight with Alverta.
