Well Summer did come to Wisconsin! And we have welcomed it. Of course with it has come mosquito’s and currently sitting through a thunderstorm with lot’s of rain and hail! But we still welcome it. The breezes have been warm and wonderful. Yesterday was a number of hours in the gardens, and now hoping the new plants survive hail and downpours. I will check on that later when the rumbling stops! The farmers have been busy the last week trying to get fields furrowed and seeds in the ground. And this was not the rain they wanted either. But the rain will bring life, even if some seeds are washed away.
So tomato’s and peppers are planted, and the flowers for the most part. Our lawn is looking good and freshly cut. My grass trimmer reached the end of it’s life, but friends stepped up with a replacement for the summer! I hate to buy a new one when I am confident our house will sell before another summer comes! We just signed up with a new realtor and feel good about her interest and attitude. Of course it all boils down to finding the right person at the right time. So when it is meant to be it will be. In the mean time I took a good look at our roof and did not like what I saw. The winter was not kind, and roofing material 12 years ago was notoriously bad. So before we sell, we will need to replace the roof. So that is our next step, hopefully quickly!
We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. As we have for some years now we made our way to Hayward Wisconsin to visit Dick and Carol. Since we sold our 5th wheel last fall we had to make other arrangements. So we rented a motor home this year, which was the plan if we wanted to camp again. Marie arrived the week before, and we all made our trip north. The weather was fantastic. Dick and I spent a lot of hours on the water and we caught a lot of large crappie. And we had lot’s of good food and relaxing time. We even made it to the Angry Minnow, a microbrewery in Hayward. And the Angry Minnow had excellent libations and food!
So we hope you all get out and enjoy the summer. June, July, August are not to be missed!
Angry Minnow – Hayward
rented motor home
life on Sand Lake
That motor home seems cozy, camping in luxury, just my style! The angry minnow looks like one stylish brewery, I will most definitely stop by the next time I am in Hayward 🙂
Incidentally, we say a New Glarus biking jersey in Austin today while out running errands.
Like your rented motor home. It is nice to get out and enjoy the summer
Always enjoy your blogs Randy. And you inspire me – got my tomatoes in and some veggie seeds, now the peppers. Do you know what the Angry Minnow building used to be? I love it when old buildings get new life brewing beer. Just had a sampler flight at Hydro Street Brewing Co. in Columbus, WI. Been around a few years but first time I stopped. Some interesting brews.
See you soon.
Looks like a very nice, comfy home, that’s the way to travel. Sounds like you had a really nice weekend. Summer has arrived here also, isn’t it nice to finally have some nice weather. Take care guys and don’t work too hard.
