Our Country Cottage, continued...

A Sunday morning in late June, when the days are at their most perfect in Alaska, except for the bugs.  Birds, bees, and butterflies are everywhere, and the air is wonderfully fresh and sweet with the scent of new life growing everywhere around.

Here are Jim and Linnet returning from feeding the neighbor's horse one afternoon in July.

The mare loves celery!

Missy, the country cat, playing with her "morning" mouse.  They were so plentiful for some time, that she was bringing one back morning and afternoon, for awhile. She has become quite a good mouser. She has had to range farther and farther afield to find them as the summer went on, and has even resorted to catching the smaller shrews that inhabit the pasture, on occasion.
