May 29, 2015 - Friday morning
60 degrees/cloudy/calm
Pentoga Road
It appears as though this is the calm before the storm. After a day of respite from the rain and thunderstorms, a front is sitting just to our west and is headed this way. We're still an inch or two below normal for the yearly rainfall, so we'll gladly take more. With all the precipitation, the lawn is growing by leaps and bounds.

| Most of Thursday afternoon was spent on the riding mower. |
Weather conditions might have been perfect, but with the lake several inches higher than normal and murky, the bluegills were hesitant to hit my small lure and I had to work for them. Enough were finally caught to make a meal for Sargie and me.
Mowing the lawn was next on the agenda. It's been one week since the grass was last cut and it was almost ankle high.
I continue to be amazed at the varieties of wild flowers growing around the perimeter of the yard.

I finished the day by working in the garden. The winter squash are beginning to pop through the surface and I look for everything to be up and growing this coming week.
Brutus's veterinarian's appointment was changed to next Tuesday so we could go to Green Bay today. Sargie's off, we need household supplies, and it's to rain, all perfect excuses to drive to Title Town.
Maybe I'll give Mike and Aaron a call on our drive down, see if they want to do lunch while Sargie's shopping. I've come up with a couple of new ideas that might work for this upcoming season.
It's time to scrub the bugs off the windshield of the Kia and get ready for our journey to Green Bay.
After all, a man's work is never done.
So are the tales from Pentoga Road...

| I was sitting alongside a raised bed in the garden weeding when I put my hand down onto this wood chip that moved. A toad that was perfectly camouflaged. |
