April 2, 2012

Another Monday and another trip to Loon!  Our neighbor’s asparagus is peaking out…I didn’t touch it! 
Path on the other side of creek
We had Marinus, our 7 year old sweetie with us.  Our goal for this Monday was to mow a path on the far side of the creek before the grass was so tall that it was impossible. 

I ended up finding 4 ticks on her.  Needless to say…we checked everyone and carefully showered and washed hair when we got home.  Amazingly Sneakers was tick-free.

Warming up in pickup
Mike also pulled out an evergreen that had died.  The evergreens that we’ve planted and replaced hoping for 14 are down to two.  This was part of our mind set that had to change from a north woods lake to a prairie lake.  Evergreens are possible but where we tried to plant is apparently too wet much of the time. Our neighbor has a great windbreak with many evergreens and cranberry bushes.
