Neighbor Mike stopped in Friday and asked if I wanted to go walleye fishing very early Saturday morning. Though the fish didn't cooperate, the sunrise alone made the effort well worthwhile.

Mom and Dad and Baby Grady. The little guy is improving by leaps and bounds now and Sargie said he might be coming off the respirator soon. 

We traveled to Marquette last Thursday to see Grady. He's gaining strength daily. Sargie and I had a wonderful lunch with Mel and Macrea and were back home by early evening.

The past several days have seen much of the garden being planted and continued work on the back and area around the yard. The area has already been increased by a third. Only half an acre to go!

The landscaping work continues

The boulder that has been sticking out of the yard for years wouldn't fit in the bucket so I dug a huge hole beside and buried the thing.

The fish didn't cooperate Saturday morning, but we had some beautiful views

Sargie has a rare three days off in a row this weekend. She's going to plant flowers today while I work in the garden. It's time the parsnips and green beans go in the ground. Later today, we're planning on taking a four-wheeler trip to town to purchase a watermelon and of course, make a stop for a Coke, something of a tradition around here.

The day is getting long and as we all know, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
