We drove west to Fryeburg the other day for the last fair of the agricultural season.
.
.
It’s always a gorgeous drive this time of year…
.
.
But due to the ongoing lack of rain and drought conditions the leaves weren’t nearly as bright.
.
.
Patches of color, yes.
.
.
But the trees have been stressed this year.
.
.
They started turning early and in much more muted shades.
.
.
Disappointing.
.
.
But still scenic.

It won’t hurt your brain.
I promise.

As much as I enjoy my craft cocktails and beer, if I could only drink one thing it would have to be fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea with a wedge of lemon.
I don’t drink coffee, so tea is my mainstay pick me up. Lower in caffeine and full of healthy antioxidants, I love it and drink it every day regardless of the weather.
How about you?
One beverage, forever.
Go!

I went to the doctor recently.
Nothing worrisome, just my annual physical. I’m ridiculously healthy for my age and though I have a bad knee, bunions and the normal aches and pains associated with reaching my sixth decade… there were thankfully no major issues to discuss.
I don’t have diabetes, or high cholesterol or any other ailments that require medication so my annual wellness check is usually a quick in and out with a stamp of good health.
We have excellent insurance due to my husband’s military service and my visit is always completely covered.
Free.
Until the other day when I received this bill.
.
.
It showed a $25 balance and while that certainly wasn’t a problem…. it was different, and made me wonder what had changed.
Not being able to decipher the coded language on the bill, I did some research.
Turns out I’m too healthy.
.
.
I’m being penalized because I’m healthy?
The doctor didn’t have to make any medical decisions.
So they charge me more?
What the utter hell is that about!
😡

Our night time visitors include deer, fox, opossums, skunks and raccoons. I put out a bowl of water and critter specific food but they all nibble the bird seed that spills on the ground.
All of them except this fellow.
.
.
Who prefers his straight from the source.
.
.
You wouldn’t think his chunky little butt could shimmy up that pole, but he climbs it with ease.

Of course coming down isn’t quite as smooth.
.

🤣

Pardon the photo quality, I was taking pics through the window and the kitchen light was throwing reflections.
And why isn’t WP letting me embed videos anymore? That’s annoying.
