 Brett Dennen

Josh Ritter

 Mart and I rolled in early to set up camp

 Off the beaten path.  Sid joined us and we circled the wagons. 

 Cool night air outs side 

 but thing heated up in the Barn

 We're fortunate to have such a great venue so close to our home which brings in awesome nation wide acts.  Tonight's duo did not disappoint. 

 Coco and John stopped by for a night cap and some conversation.

and a fire.

Sabula

 Tail walker.

Beau set me up with a fly box which had a grasshopper.  It did the trick.

The Flower farmer caught a few too.

RELAX

 Refreshing drinks in a cool tub

 we took our time

 Everyone was relaxing.

Finishing up with a bucolic evening walk.  

Before the Storm

 We wanted to have some folks over while Dan and Caroline were back home

 So We got the tent all set up on the deck

Tunes, light, food and

Drinks.  It looks like we're all set.  The party went off without a hitch

 The storm rolled in about 3 am

 and this is what we woke up to

We'll see what we can salvage

LIVING ON THE EDGE.

 After I got a little yard work done this am.  I took the dogs for a walk along the edge of the hay field.

 The "edge effect" is a term often used in wildlife management to refer to an area where two habitat types meet.  Offering great diversity.  I picked  a few black raspberries to add to the blue berries iIpicked this morning.  

I picked some fresh oyster mushrooms 

 Milkweed still grows on the edge.

 and they provide nectar 

 for my bees

  One of the biggest factors monarch decline is the increasing scarcity of milkweeds, the caterpillars host plant.

Back home the peaches are looking good 

 The apples

Pears

And raspberries too

Another Project Done!
