We got away to the cabin for 5 superb summer days. Great
weather which allowed pleasant bike rides and a fine round of golf at the
Gateway Golf Club. Here are a few pics of the trip.
The hosta garden is in full bloom and here I am watering the
garden before dinner on Saturday night. We have about 90 different hostas in
the garden and a good-sized deer fence to protect them.
We enjoyed two bike rides with Glenn and Peggy Hojem. The
first was a 17-mile trip on the Land O’ Lakes trail, and then a 12-mile trip
from Sayner to St. Germaine. This pic is of Mary and Peggy along that trail.
I have mentioned before our efforts at tree rescue, that is,
when we dig up small seedlings that are growing under power lines or right next
to a roadway. They have no future there so we transplant them into our
property. Here is one such transplant, an 8” white spruce that is getting a
second chance. This time up north I transplanted 4 white spruce and 4 red pine.
The only rain we received was on Sunday morning the 7th,
and it was a 2” downpour. Here you can see our rain gardens at work. And in
this other image, the beach just after I put away the sale boat accessories
(mast, sail, rudder, dagger board).
