Things I don't see too often around here...

Wednesday evening, after washing the cars, I looked up to see the end of a military jet refueling operation. I say "end" because the two planes flew in refueling formation for about 15 seconds, then the plane behind and below the other plane broke formation and flew off to the northeast. That is the third time I have seen a refueling operation; another time, while visiting my mother in Waterbury, and the first time, while walking The Pies on Beecher Road in Downtown Wolcott.

And speaking of walking The Pies, Thursday morning, I was walking The Pies on Beecher Road and looked up to see a snowy egret fly overhead just above tree level.
