Hazy

We've been having more smoky days lately.  It's really bothering people, like Allen, who suffer from allergies. Some days, it's just a bit hazy, but other days it actually smells like wood smoke.

 

Derpy?

Here's another critter we found hanging out around Mann Lake (near Sheridan, MI.) There's just something about that little snakey face, isn't there? "Derpy" was the word my daughter used to describe it, which I had to look up. I found several different meanings ranging between foolish or weird to lovingly stupid. And looking at that face, I can see how the word fits. Guess I'm going to have to add derpy to my slang vocabulary, though with my luck it's not "in" anymore.
