Summer's Around the Corner... they say

It's been a long haul, but it appears (at least when you look at the calendar) that summer's just around the corner. This is a first for us since owning the land here where we are now that the garden is all in except for a few Watermelon plants we're looking for and a few more cabbage plants. The rest is in the ground. One year the garden was so wet that we didn't get it in until the 4th of July.

The last week has been like stuffing 8 hours of work a day into a 3 hour time span each day trying to get ready to go up north to the Hayward area for a week. I've been assured by Diane at the Chippewa Pines that I do not need to take my Ice Auger along to drill holes in the ice to fish, however, the fishing is about 2 weeks behind what it normally is when we go up there.

Keep tuned and if we're lucky we'll get some stuff up here relating to one of our most important weeks of the year if you care to share.

Happy Memorial Day and don't forget the meaning behind the Holiday - It's not all about grilling out with the family and friends and having a few drinks.
