Not much happening around town.  Weather didn’t corporate for those Fathers wanting to do some sittin’ in the old sunshine; but that will all change after today as lots of sunshine is heading our way with nice warm temperatures to go along with it.   The rain though was much needed  and looking at my vegetable garden this morning I am thinking it grew about six inches last night. Nothing can get a garden to growing nicer than good old Mother Nature.   Remember this folks; We are all fed by the soil of the planet we walk upon, we drink her water, we breathe her air and we eat her food.  We carry her with every breath, with every step, with every sip, and with every bite we take.  We came from it and will end up becoming part of it.  Have a great day.

Well folks are opening up their cottages around the area. Lots dropping by to our small store and saying hello and picking up their items of choice.  Great to see so many after a long winter.  Still working on this boat I got a few weeks ago.  Put a new cedar floor in the old girl and have to say she looks mighty fine.  Today it will be building a back seat for it, along with adding a new winch on the front, as the old electric one has seen its better days.  So still lots to do, but it’s coming along.  Bug report; Well….have to say that I haven’t seen hardly any black flies for the past few days.  So no one should be complaining about them this year.  Mosquitoes and horse flies are around, but not to bad either.  There are also a few deer flies making an appearance, whom I don’t really care for, as they can sure bite. Mostly though they just bug a feller or gal, by swarming around your head. If you stop though and wait till they land, you can easily kill them with a good swat.  So there you go.  Think I will go and have a cup or tea or two and soak up some of that sunshine and breath in some of that fresh northern air.  Have a great day!!!

Been working on another 16 foot by 5 1/2 foot wide aluminum boat I got the other day, keeping me busy and out of trouble.  Things are rolling along, but going to be needing a windshield for the front of it.  If anyone has one that they don’t need or don’t use any more and not wanting to much money I would sure appreciate hearing from you.  I will give dimensions once I find some one that has one.  I did put a bead of Marine Glue on the old one yesterday, which I am hoping will hold things till I find another.  Got to be one out there somewhere.  Other than that, gardens are growing nicely.  Salads bowls are heaping full come supper time.  Pretty tasty let me tell ya.   Hot one yesterday an will be the same today, so good idea to keep th blinds down this morning and ceiling fan circulating the air a bit through the day.  That is all we ever use and our home is nice and cool all day and night.  Never need an air-conditioner.  So there you have it, have a great day and enjoy the sunshine.  Oh and for those that might have a boat windshield you can reach me at [email protected]   Thanks!!
