Good morning all.
75 out going up to high 80's today, overcast all day. Air quality is good at 29
I enjoyed my morning walk enough yesterday going to do it every morning now.
17 acre campground so lots of places to walk, though much is now a construction site of sorts
putting in new sites.
Ted, that is disappointing about that website. I bet you have to have a subscription to avoid the marketing; remarkable how after a certain time the same link
hops to another location. I won't use it again, Wunderground has air quality reading also.
RS, you are the hosta man. Hope the deer or critters leave them alone long enough for them to get established.
I had a lot of shady spots at the farm, particularly along the woods side of the driveway and hosta did very well there.
Please give us a picture of the auger rack, I want to see all that gleaming finish!
Dennis, always great to see pics of your Dad. Most of us have parents who have passed and can't enjoy that relationship.
Sometimes the later years aren't so good and super to see your Dad still getting out and enjoying the world.
You are sure being a good son to him.
There were 70 acres of deep woods behind our home growing up, and some of my favorite memories were playing in the woods. It was old woods logged just for oak
a long time ago, even back then, and the sunlight came down through in enough areas that it wasn't dark or threatening to little kids. Plus there was a stream through the woods that was
always fun to go investigate, look for little critters in it, "skeeter bugs" as we used to call them. Oak, tulip, beech, locust, dogwood, and some pine. The dogwoods made wonderful splashes of color, but needed a fair amount of sun to thrive. The whole property was on a slope going down to the Delaware River, we always knew we had to climb up the slope to get home. Very rugged terrain with big granite outcroppings that were home to local red foxes. Carved my initials on a few beech trees. Name of the farm was Rockwood Farm, very accurate description. Three granite quarries within twenty miles. When the farm was finally sold we were able to get 70 percent put in permanent land conservation. Builder who bought it made a fortune building ten $2M homes back in those woods.
