A fewer pictures from entering Canada today and around Ottawa tonight.

July 30, 2012

From Rice Lake to Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. It was a beautiful day to travel.

Day one

Obviously Blogger got the email problem fixed.

My hotel room and the bus waiting for us to start our journey.

July 28, 2012

Here's today's collage and most likely the last one until I return from my trip or until Google gets the email problem straightened out.  This morning I found out it's not a problem on my end, it's a Google problem.

A little brown snake and a little yellow warbler. Both seen on a beautiful day in the Northland.

Did laundry this morning, the phoebes taken just a few hours before they flew the coop and Friday night brewskis on a perfect day in the Northland.


I don't know what's going on with Blogger.  In the past I've sent these via email, but the last two days it hasn't been working.  If you don't see anything here in the next two+ weeks, it's because it still isn't working and I'm in Nova Scotia.  I'll try to figure it out before I leave, but I'm not too optimistic about it.

For some reason, this didn't get posted via my email so I'll add it manually, the old fashioned way!  LOL

We had a little bit of everything today...sun, rain, warm and cool. Molly, a deer crossing the road and a very sad sign. People down the road from us are building a new cabin and someone stole their pickup camper that was parked on their property.  They had the camper sitting on a frame and the thieves pulled up and stole it. One of many burglaries happening in the Northland.  With more and more people out of work (especially here in Wisconsin where the job numbers aren't improving) there will be more crime.  People are desperate.

July 25, 2012

Baby phoebes, much needed rain and baby Brussels sprouts.

July 24, 2012

The pond is getting smaller and the baby turtles like it that way, a warm day complete with a summertime mirage

July 23, 2012

Birthday road trip with stops in Hayward, Glen Flora, lunch in Winter and back to Hayward for ice cream at West's Dairy. A great day to turn 60!

July 22, 2012

Playing around with a new scrapbook app. A couple critters from around the 'hood.

July 21, 2012

Went to the annual Bennett Flea Market. Got some new garden flags for a song!

July 20, 2012

Squash and cabbage, future goodness, mulleins and a brown eyed Susan.

July 19, 2012

The first phase of Jim's recycled trailer is done. Made from almost all salvaged parts.

July 18, 2012

Getting water, today's harvest and a stop at the tiniest bar that's right on the water in NW Wisconsin.

July 17, 2012

Spent Molly's birthday up in Superior shopping. She was a good girl as usual.

July 16, 2012

Flower and farm equipment seen on our morning walk. I was surprised to see the hummingbird in the picture.

July 15, 2012

Trip to the transfer station, the phoebes have hatched, lazy river and a warm day in the Northland.

July 14, 2012

Four pictures from the trail cam. Bear and bat, buck and bunt, skinny raccoon, and dancing Jim. Fresh veggies from our crop circles and a hot day in the Northland.

July 13, 2012

First kohlrabi was harvested, a young deer along the side of the road, early morning double rainbows and another nice day in the northland.

July 12, 2012

My new bank, an old tractor and some brown eyed Susan's. Nice day in the northland.

July 11, 2012

Came back to the cabin after doing lots of running around in Madison. Didn't even think to take any collage pictures today, except for my fortune cookie fortune.

July 10, 2012

A trip back to Madison where everything is very dry.

July 9, 2012

Mama mallard and a whole bunch of little ones, Molly doing some off roading, mama phoebe and another skunk. A gorgeous day in the Northland.

July 8, 2012

Our little pond, two deer and a bat caught on the trail cam, smooth Lake St. Croix and the St Croix River on a beautiful day in the Northland.

July 7, 2012

I saw this little brown snake on our morning walk, a huge 1960 Cadillac convertible and craft vendors at Gordon Good Neighbor Days. Beautiful day in the Northland

July 6, 2012

Weather is a big issue with our temps today being 40+ degrees less than in Madison. A rare Friday night. We didn't go out for fish and a manhole cover from Solon. Kinda liked seeing their name on it.

July 5, 2012

Not as hot or humid as yesterday, a trip to the 3 In 1 Store and some pretty flowers along the road.

July 4, 2012

More storm damage. Had to turn around when we came upon this tree. A miserably hot Fourth. Even the squirrel needed a place to cool off.

July 3, 2012

Removing a storm damaged tree, an inch of rain, another hot one, deer that look like a pair of bookends and little blue flowers.

July 2, 2012

A hot day in the Northland, went shopping and saw this planter at Superior Meats. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was really pretty.

July 1, 2012

Hot day, our zucchini plants, handsome young buck, mystery flower and a shady spot for our afternoon walk.
