Fun time in the Mitten
I love the great weather we have in the summer/fall here in the mitten! The summer/fall weather allows for some great outdoor times.
We won't discuss the hellish hot/humid weather we've had this past week because usually it is much cooler.
The trip to the Ford Museum was fun.....it's air conditioned.....then we walked around Greenfield village....late afternoon so much cooler. We rode in a Model T, they sure are loud cars but surprisingly comfortable.
Took an afternoon ride on the Genesee Belle, a local paddle boat, it was lovely with the cool breeze off the water, looking at the wildlife, even the Blue Heron was enjoyable in that setting.
Our local pond tour is this weekend, which we will be working at. The tour is great fun. We meet lots of fun people and get to see some really beautiful ponds that people have put a lot of work into.
Then it's dinner with friends and great conversation.
Life is good and will soon be great when our girls, at different times, will be home for a quick visit!

From Blue Herons to Moles. God Bless them everyone
The saga with the Great Blue Heron has temporarily subsided. I think I have outlasted him! It has been two weeks now and he hasn't shown his face. We have made it too much of a challenge for him to get to the pond and now, hopefully, he has moved on to an easier buffet somewhere else.
The new challenge is now MOLES. I just can't win. They have been herded to our yard from the construction on the street behind us. Currently they are making their way toward our beautiful pond. Is there no rest from critters at all anymore?
I went on line and found poison fake worms that we are suppose to place in their runs, they then eat said worms and die. I can only hope!
