Odds and Ends

 I've covered many miles of timber over the last few weeks.  I found my first morals on good friday but they were few and far between.

This morning susie and i found about 3 to 4 lbs.

 Last sunday   Mothers day  was a beautiful day for a bike ride along the maquoketa river just 10 min. south of our house.  Marty and I packed a picnic lunch for susie and joani... bbq ribs, asparagus and moral mushroom salad and strawberries and mangoes with grand marnier.

we saw lots of wild life along the trail.  snakes, many different birds such as warblers, indigo buntings, ducks and hawks and this bandito hiding out in the hills.

 Steve and i hit rolli world for trout fishing and steve got this large mouth in the swimming pond.  i got skunked in the fishing department but i did manage to find a few morals that day.

a couple of sand hill cranes on the drive out to the cabin.

my friend jack.  it's been a busy few weeks and the summer looks like more of the same.
