    Looks great Dave! Your wood shed always blows me away.

    Greening up here in Maine too. I'm already behind the eight ball on mowing. I don't like taking the bucket off the JD but, gotta happen. Some long overdue service on the JD too.

    This might be a summer where they find a dark low lying spot way up north in Maine, with snow in July. Has happened before.

    Looks good Dave, last week I was amazed at how fast our maples leafed out. Went from bare to leafed out in just a few days.

    Looking good Bogy, we had 88º here today after some strong storms rolled through yesterday......vehicle flood claims started showing up today. Just told the wife on Sunday, another month I'll be picking strawberries.

    Right where I want to be.
    As always, love the pics.
    On one of our infrequent excursions to Alpena, I saw an Eagle standing right at the edge of a large pool of water in a ploughed field.
    Must have been thirsty.:) No chance for a pic, as I was driving.

    Was windy out here, 40-50 mph gusts. Rained as well.

    Those tractors work well until they jump the hose or get stuck. I had mine going for 2 days once when I turned it on before leaving and it never made it to the ramp shut off.

    Looks great as always Dave.

    Here we had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend but things went downhill fast from there. I just emptied the rain gauge again and we got just a tad shy of 4" of rain the past few days. Looks like it might finally end or at least the heavy stuff. It really cooled off too. Amazing that we saw 80 on Mother's Day and today it did not even get to 50. But, lots of leaves on the trees now. Weeds growing great too. We do have some peas up and looking good but lost a couple of peach trees and one apple.

    80° to 50°, sounds like Alaska weather
