Why is it that when Twitter updates their Privacy Policy I get email notices for Twitter accounts that I supposedly deleted years ago. Were these accounts actually deleted? 😕

Last weekend we finished putting in the horseshoe pits at the cabin and I’m very pleased with the result!

We have a lot of yard games at the cabin and I though it would be a lot of fun to add horseshoes to the mix. I honestly didn’t think that much about it and put a horseshoe set on my wishlist for Christmas. After getting the set I realized I had bit off more than I realized.

I found a great site for horseshoe plans. My brother-in-law helped me get the wood and cutting done and unfortunately the winter came before I got it all done. We finished digging the pits into the ground this spring after the ground thawed.

I really like the throwing platforms and the backboard. This is a more complex pit than you absolutely have to have, but it’s really nice to play on. Now I just have to work on my game!

Added support for JSON Feed to my blog. 👍

My mother sent me this photo of a “bike mower” that she saw at a garden show today. What kind of horribleness is this!?

First afternoon on Cannon Lake for 2017! Cooled off at the sandbar.

One of our trees didn’t make it through the winter. 😔

Got both horseshoe pits in!

This Surly glass that my Todd the Axe Man came in is really cool.

Nice night.

Oh no! The dandelions have taken over the yard!

Outlook’s new built-in grammar checking is helping me realize I use the word “actually” way, way too much. Actually…

Crazy long and inefficient line at all-school picnic.

My friend and photographer Layne Kennedy was recently featured on Minnesota Original. I met Layne when I took his Wintergreen Dog Sledding workshop and he’s a great photographer, teacher and amazing story teller.
