Surviving Minnesota!

Morning . Beautiful spring like day yesterday . Same today they say . Our governor opened some things up . Barber shops , restaurants and bars if they have outdoor seating . Not the barber shops on outdoor seating .

That’s all it’s about is power and lining portfolios with lobby money. And the more divided you keep the people the more you have a platform for your election into fat stacks. Both parties guilty.

And the antics of some that don’t look like they belong on the top of those burn piles or in that neighborhood for that matter, leading with the right sized chain link snips in black gear tick me off the most. They are professionals ruining what looks like a revitalized multicultural area.
It will take years to fix this in all ways.
Thanks Derek.

It appears you have been listening to me for too long!

Here too, while hot it has not been the oppressive humidity it was.

It is cool here by the big lake. At my place we have had less than a half inch of rain since the snow melted. Some places just a short distance from me have had substantially more. That is what one gets with scattered thunderstorms.
My chickens do enjoy the rainless days and have been free ranging every day. Some are starting into the molt and so egg production is down a little.

We have had very little actual rain, and last night was a frost advisory! It’s very cool today, but I love it! Anytime it isn’t snowing 🌨 , I love it! Lol,

Conspiracy theory alert!!!

Last night our internet went down, (windstream)

our phones went down (at&t)

My thought was we are too close to the cities (50-60) miles and they (the government) wanted us to be unable to communicate...


It bothered us so much, we actually went to bed semi-early.

Hmmm... you may be right Ralphie. Sad part of this is as soon as the protests becomes a riot....the message gets lost.

We have had lots of stuff happening at our place. We're trying to put in a pond to collect the wetness in our lower area. (Potential future use by water fowl.) Dug it out partly with a bobcat a few weeks ago, and Friday my husband had someone come out to dig it bigger and deeper. We'll see how things go - I don't know too much about ponds yet.



Husband and our mason/handyman also decided we didn't need to hire a company for tree work, they could do it themselves with equipment rentals. Things didn't go perfectly, and there is some roof damage. That's why the tree work was done before the roof work, at least.



Until that building is more done, our chicks continue to live in our contraption in the porch. They've been getting outside time in the yard and loving it.



Kids got to play in the creek on a hot day last week. Classic fun!



Hope everyone is safe and doing well.

Absolutely wonderful! Looks like you have a summer full of work too!
that last picture is my favorite, I’m watching the “Little House” series with my kids, and it’s so cool to see how they respond to the “use what you have” mentalit!
