Found the Big One

And Steve thought the BIG one got away.

Rest stop for Oliver.  Left the airport around 1:30 A.M. and pulled into Walleye World just in time for sunrise.  Whose tired now?

Mismatched Summer

Betsy, I hope that we have this book for Katherine.

Good Morning Lake Betty.

Off to a beautiful day.

Bedroom Intruder

Help, there's an intruder in my bedroom! So glad that I was not staying at the Sugar Shack all by myself; the uninvited was just inches away from my Uncle Tom weapon. Not that a canoe paddle would be the appropriate choice of weapon in this particular situation.  While rushing out the door to an emergency dentist, seeking relief for TH's excruciating pain, we stopped knowing that there was a small creature also suffering.  Somehow, Harvey found his way inside the house and flew upstairs. He had to be in disoriented bird distress. We couldn't leave him alone while we were out, now could we?  Cranking open all of the windows for air flow, then removing one screen might do the trick.  After his many unsuccessful attempts at the big round stationary window, he finally found the suggested escape route.

Unfortunately,  TH is still in big human agony.

Cosmos and Hors D'oeuvres

Today's project, while the sun shines, is to prepare a new strawberry bed, plus get all of the peas planted. After that is all accomplished... it's cosmos time. The last two summers Oliver has climbed into the pea gardens, and enjoyed picking pea hors d'oeuvres then sampling strawberries for desert. This year we will invite Katherine to our party.  I fear though, it may be a very late start for getting peas growing in time for a late July garden party.

 Ready

 set, plant strawberries.

 Berries Galore, certainly hope so!

 Sugar Daddy, come to the party!

Cosmos, but not in a long stemmed blue Martini glass.

Then off to ER with TH. Crazy.

Tina Returns

Even in the rain, Tina stopped in midair, buzzed at the window where I was sitting, winked and tipped her wings for an annual I'm back again "hello".

If you look closely you will see Harvey at the feeder.  No sooner did Tina arrive, and her entire neighborhood began enjoying the sugary summer Hummer food.  She is surely good at getting the word out as there has been a steady stream of Hummers.

Larry greeted us yesterday, but no Linda?  The Canaries must have taken the slow route north this year.  No skunks, deer or Eagers so far.
