Settling into CT

I had been in CT for a week when I received an invitation from the Aflac insurance company to attend a group interview.  I had never considered working for an insurance company,  Things moved along, I was accepted for training, and will be appointed to the Milford office.  Its been a great deal of on-line training and a few days of office training.  There will be more office training soon.
    As much as I love my sister and her family here, I really don't like commuting long distances every day.  I have rented a room in a house in Milford and will be moving in a few days.  Its good to get all the boxes out of the truck.  Silver truck probably thinks so, too !!
    Photos from rambling around CT.      Cardinal was taking a bath in a rain puddle.
There has been alot of rain in the northeast.  Warm and humid.  While the western part of the country is having drought conditions and a big heat wave, I have been photographing flooding along the Willimantic River and tributaries.
