Summer Marches On

A healthy mix of perennials (cattails, soft-stemmed bulrush, etc.) are now making their presence known
among a good crop of annuals (largely millet, smartweed, and nut sedge) in our 40-acre "Rest Pond"

I thought I'd better check-in just to confirm that I hadn't sunk into the muck in some quiet corner of the marsh somewhere! Two bouts with a bad back sandwiched between an eight-day road trip to Florida and Virginia have somehow allowed two weeks to pass since I've been able to be on-site in Erie County. Hard to believe.

Roy and Nate have stayed plenty busy, so their hasn't been too much time with the camera. We have a family reunion weekend starting today, but I plan to be back at it next week. I'll not only dust off the camera, but backfill on some of the recent events from the second half of July. Per usual, there are tons of irons in the fire . . .
