Surviving Minnesota!

I just went back onto St. Cloud' Craigs list for Farm and Garden because I wrote down that those Welsummers and Easter Eggers http://images.craigslist.org/00j0j_3AW3alWNWMn_300x300.jpgnot This is the listing I was looking at. And I saw one in Princeton for $25 an egg.

I cannot find the ad but a $2.50 wellsummer would scare me slightly.. I have been getting 3 for my EE......

We have an EE assisted out. The EE egg that had blue wax on it. Just a little tricky to zip I suppose.

Checked on Dixie and finally we have a pip in the wellie egg.

Cottonwood trees started shedding cotton yesterday . Planted 10 tomato plants today . More to come but they are too small to go out now . Dewberries started to bloom plus some wild black raspberries . Wild blackberries are close to blooming . Seeing white so a few days away .

i have spent this crappy evening in the woodshop trying out a new project. anybody have a guess?



This is my prototype Lawn Yahtzee game it has become pretty popular as the new 'it' yard game for the summer. This set turned out good not great but i learned what i need to to make up some jigs and hammer out a pile of sets. DW talked me into making them to sell at the farmers market. one 8 foot 4x4 makes up to 5 or 6 sets if there arent too many knots. the biggest trick is to get the beveled edge just right and not chip out on this dry pine. cutting them tonight revealed that my table saw has drifted out of square and needs adjustment.

Loaded dice!!!!


My wife and I are trying to figure out, is there 2 or 3 chicks hatched (the school thing) and is one of them dead.

 

[duluthralphie]

4 chicks now!

Dixie has done a great job. Here is Loretta Lynn, Bogtown's first welsummer.

Ralphie she made a booboo dropping an EE egg and did repairs with blue wax. She was worried one laid there for a while but now... Okay. Not sure if that was it. Hopefully we have a Patsy Cline in there, Kitty Wells and a June Carter.

We have a set of those dice kloppers. We keep them in the RV. We have yet to do a fun game with them yet. Will get it figure out this summer hopefully.
