Preferred Seating

Got a new packable camp chair. So I headed out to test it. I tested it for over an hour at this very spot. I slipped off my Crocs and put my bare feet in the cool dirt while sitting in this chair. It felt nice – I felt, connected. The wind blew nicely in the trees as the sun went in and out of the clouds. The Nashwaak River sparkled. A whole flock of Canada Geese came in and landed down in the field and hung out for a bit. Until a person and a dog came walking along. Then there was copious honking. Then the dog went for ‘em and they all took off. Silly dogs. Two different Bald Eagles circled over head – one so close I was kinda freaked out – then they wafted to and fro on the winds and headed up river effortlessly. Yup, chair works pretty good.

Garden 2020 Update

We’ve had good turnout with the garden this year. We’ve had a great bean crop – more than we can eat – peas, zucchini, peas and tomatoes aplenty. We’ve started harvesting and eating the potatoes and the broccoli is on it’s third round. Still have zucchini, squash, peppers and tomatoes going and in another month or two we’ll harvest the carrots. And all this time we’ve had enough lettuce to feed the herd without buying any.

The blackberries are coming, though they’re not huge and some plants dried up – I don’t know if it was due to a stint of brutal heat and dry weather we had or the fact that I moved them this year. Still some to munch on though and there’s been new shoots growing for next year.
