Wildflower of the week, goose walking on water, a butterfly with major wing issues and a nice day in the Northland.

Don't know what happened to that trailer but it's seen it's last day on the highway, a faux bear and a bunch of wood ticks skewered on a pin.

May 29, 2012

Went too kip Jim's new mower and pictures of some of our regular visitors.

My shadow while taking a picture of a butterfly, another inch on rain and the calm between the storms.

A bear in Superior and Sunday May 27, 2012

First collage...We saw our first bear today. Second one...high water, our crop circles and more veggies to plant.

May 26, 2012

More rain, more wild flowers and more tires for raised beds.

Friday May 25, 2012

After getting around 3 inches of rain yesterday there are still a few spots with water over the road, rain gauge shopping and a pretty nice day in the Northland.

May 24, 2012

One word to describe today...UGLY!

Wednesday May 23, 2012

Time for a new riding mower!

May 22, 2012

The excitement of the day was a trip to the transfer station! Woo hoo!

Monday May 21, 2012

A perfect day in the Northland. Lots of butterflies fluttering around the wildflowers.

Videos from around the 'hood

Sometimes it's just easier to post a video instead of trying to explain what's going on around here.
The turtles were in the mood for love, the little hummingbirds buzzed the feeders all day Sunday and there's still a lot of logging going on around here.  Slowly but surely the areas that were hard hit by last summer's storms are getting logged.

Sunday may 20, 2012

A much different day...cool and rainy for most of the day.

Saturday May 19, 2012

Another hot day in the Northland.

Finished our chores at home, got my hair done and got a full dose of recall commercials. Good to be back in the Northland.

Tuesday May 15, 2012

Made a quick trip back to Madison.

Monday May 14, 2012

I was very surprised to see the little geese today. We haven't seen them or their parents for 5 or 6 days. Don't know where they've been hanging out but I was very relieved to see these two today.

Sunday May 13, 2012

Another beautiful day. Took a trip via the Swedish, to the Radigan Dam.

May 12, 2012

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see....

And I finally got some more pincushions listed in my Etsy shop.

Another day of mixed weather, a trip to the Garden House and the annual smelt fry!

Sun, rain and clouds, a little bit of everything today.

A beautiful day in the Northland.

Friday May 4, 2012

Molly and the wood chip pile, raccoon, strawberry AND blueberry blossoms, rushing water and pretty little wood violets. Another nice day in the northland.

Today i spotted these two little geese on the pond, my future herb garden plants and we enjoyed a very nice spring day.

A super beautiful day for a spring road trip.

Tuesday May 1, 2012

It was like two different days so I made two different colleges today. Cold, rainy and foggy in Duluth....

But quite nice down by our cabin. We went "uptown" shopping today and had lunch at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Jims is a traditional soup called Pho and I had a rice noodle dish called Bun Cha Gio.  It has a lettuce and cucumbers on the bottom, then a layer of rice noodles, a sliced egg roll, thin pieces of roast pork and other garnishments on the top. As usual I brought half of it home with me.
