Just checking something out.      I'll be back to normal soon.  Is that possible???

This vehicle was spotted yesterday in Phillips.  My daughter sent me this picture asking if I had seen them here at the bait shop.  I haven't ... but sure would like like to.  Now this is dedication to the sport. You go fisherman! Who needs a boat trailer... you get that boat to the lake no matter what it takes. lol

Please have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend.  Take a moment to remember those who fought for our freedoms and for those brave souls who laid down their lives for us.  Pray for peace.

Let There Be Peace On Earth ~ and let it begin with me.

Slim and I went fishing down by Crowley Dam last night.  We got into a few walleye on a floating jig head with a minnow, but no monster wally to brag about. 

The rock bass right now are thick down there.  Plenty of those were caught. I told Slim to hold one up so I could take it's picture to show you it's red eye; but I think he was choking the little bugger.  I know he was getting  very frustrated with them for taking his minnow on him all the time.



My rock shot.  Slim asked me what I was taking pictures of and I told him rocks.  If he would of caught a big walleye I would have taken a picture of that ... but he didn't .... so here's the rocks.

Spring is finally FINALLY here in northern Wisconsin!!!  

I went for a walk and took some pictures . I just love how everything is greening up and blossoming.  I love the transformation that Mother Nature is going through right now.





this next cluster of plants really stuck out.... look at the varigation in the leaves and on the blossoms...



look at all the trilliums!



wild leeks:

I was over on My-Kin Chieng's site and saw this link to the flip flop test and just had to take it. Although I personally like the slip on flip flops without the toe thingie myjingie....  Here's my results:

What Your Flip Flops Say About You

You live to have fun, and your sense of humor is downright goofy. You are a big kid on the inside, and you have a very open heart. You try to make every day feel like a vacation, even if you have other responsibilities. Each day, you make a little bit of time to play and let loose. Your ideal warm weather place: Disney World

"Fish on ... grab the landing net!", those were the words coming out of our mouths last night.  Dear Hubby and and I took the boat out and did a little fishing on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.  What a beautiful evening.  We weren't the only ones either that had the same idea.  There were a lot of boats out and from the looks of it we weren't the only ones that were on to the fish.  Fresh walleye for supper! 

Of course, I forgot to take my camera along with me last night; so I don't have any fish pics to show; but I do have some flower pictures. (Just for you JD: because I know how much you love them and know how much you love it when I talk gardening. lol)

the mountain ash tree is budding out:



the bloodroots are blooming:






so are the wood violets:



and my miniature irises:



  

Why do you wash your windows? Am I the only one that has to wash off bear slobber??

Look at my glass door!  It's full of bear snot!  And Slim wonders why I'm always locking the door.  I swear... one of these days the little buggers are going to be in the house. 



and the squirrels aren't much better at staying away either ~





This black squirrel is huge.  It looks like a cat when it jumps up on the chair to look into the living room window.

Well... I suppose I better get going and get some of my gardening done while the weather is cooperating.  I have an asparagus bed planted that hasn't been yielding like I would like it to.  I've neglected it and the weeds are taking over and I need to remedy that.  I'm going to redo the whole bed.  I'm digging out all the asparagus and weeds ... moving the asparagus  to another bed and replacing the existing bed with hollyhocks.  Problem is.... I don't have another place made up yet for the asparagus. 

Oh to be a child again and have so much energy!

Here's a picture of Brooke, Veronica, Bailey and Amanda having fun on the  trampoline.

I haven't been on it yet with them.... but when I do they'll see why it's so important to have safety netting. LOL.  I just hope it's high enough!
