Weekend Report

Trey and I woke up a little before 7am to the sound of thunderstorms and light rain. At 8am it is still raining a little and the thunder has been nearly continuous for an hour. I looked on the weather map and didn’t see storm clouds over Little Tupper where Kathryn, Eric and the rest [...]

Another Pond

My neighbor decided to transform the wet ground in the pasture just south of our house into a pond.  I guess one can never have too many ponds.  This is the result of three days of bull dozer work.  It will be interesting to see it develop over the next year. I am sure we [...]

Algonquin Canoe Trip

Skip and Bob and I had planned a return canoe trip to Spanish River, Ontario. When one of our canoe partners was unable to participate we decided to change our plans. Instead of a river trip involving some Class II white water we decided to go to Algonquin Park and do a loop trip through [...]

Status of the Garden

Last night we picked the last of of our peas.  I can’t remember having them this late in the year.  Usually I hurry to get them into the ground as early as possible.  This year I staggered the plantings (3 rows) and we have been eating peas from late June until now.  Last week we [...]

Growth of Digital Photo Storage

Whetstone Gulf State Park

This past weekend we took the pop-up camper to Whetstone Gulf State Park.  We had planned on going to Soft Maple Reservoir on Friday night, but AGHAST! they were full.  Our little hide away camp ground with 11 sites was full and luckily we were made aware of it just before we pulled out of [...]

Cooling off on Hot Summer Days

This past week we had a couple of 90+ degree days.  Eric and his buddy cooled off by spending the day at Pleasant Lake with lots of swimming and playing in the water.  Both nights he came home tired, but clean and cool.
