Jiggety Jig...
Where did the summer go?
We had an odd sort of a summer up here in the beautiful north woods
of Minnesota.
We arrived to witness the blossoming of
Spring.
A family of Canadian Geese go from goslings to full grown-ready-to-fly
geese.
A loon family raising their family of chicks and lose two of them to a mother eagle.
We traveled to Scotland in June.
Oh, such a splendid trip to Bonnie Scotland.
It was a hot, dry summer by northern Minnesota standards.
Still lovely when one considers the alternative
of
the hot dry deserts of Arizona.
I grew beautiful sunflowers and oodles of heirloom tomatoes.
A funny Asian bean about a foot long
and three cherries!
The birds or bears ate my beautiful blueberries.
And my raspberry bushes never produced a single berry.
We never fished.
We tell people, when they ask:
how can you live on a lake and not fish?
we simply love the view.
And I love my log cabin.
Alas,
The winds are changing, fall is around the bend
and
it's time to head back to where my other
loves are.
I suspect many changes will be hidden
in the winds
over the next nine months.
