WINKLER BIBLE CAMP - OUR CHURCH CAMP WEEKEND
WE TOOK OUT OUR TRAILER AND JOINED IN FOR PART OF
THE WEEKEND.
ALSO THE WEEKEND WE TOOK MOM INTO THE HOSPITAL.
IT WAS A BUSY WEEK FOLLOWING. VISITS TO HOSPITAL
AND PREPARATIONS FOR WHEN SHE COULD GO HOME.
MY MARSH MARIGOLD PUT ON A BEAUTIFUL SHOW!
IT HAS SPREAD - AMAZINGLY. I HAVE TRIED TO SEED IT
FOR MANY YEARS. IT DID IT ON ITS OWN TERMS.
A WONDERFUL YEAR FOR TULIPS AS THE WEATHER
WAS COOL.
SOUR CHERRY BLOSSOMS.
THEY WERE VERY ABUNDANT BUT NOT SURE
ENOUGH WERE POLLINATED.
TOO CHILLY FOR THE BEES TO FLY?
LOTS OF BLOOMS ON THE IRISES
SOME ARE FROM MY AUNT MARY AND I HAVE NO NAMES FOR THEM.
THE ONE BELOW IS 'BATIK'. I PURCHASED A FEW AND DO HAVE
NAMES.
MY WHITE GERMANICA
THE COMMON IRIS FROM THE VILLAGE WE GREW UP IN.
PURPLE ONE - 'SUPERSTITION'
THE PINK ONE IS 'PINK CHERUB'
THE YELLOW IRIS IN THE BACKGROUND ARE FROM AUNT MARY.
THE LUPINS ARE ONES I STARTED FROM SEED LAST YEAR.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL UNTIL THE RAINS COME!
THE DAMAGE DONE!
BUT IN SPITE OF THE RAIN, WE TOOK THE PRAIRIE DOG CENTRAL
ON FATHER'S DAY.
THE TRAIN TRAVELS AT 15 MPH - ITS TOP SPEED!
LOTS OF STANDING WATER JUST NORTH OF THE CITY
THEY REALLY DID NOT NEED MORE RAIN
DECLAN ADDING WATER TO THE ALREADY WET GROUND.
THE KIDS DID TOUR THE HOUSE AT GROSSE ISLE.
IT WAS JUST TOO WET FOR SOME OF US TO JOIN THEM.
LEARNING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE OLD STEAM ENGINE.
AND MORE RAIN!!!!
READY FOR BREAKFAST.
THANKFULLY THE WEATHER HELD FOR THE MORNING
AND WE WERE ABLE TO SPREAD OUT ON THE
LAWN AND DECK.
THE LADIES DECIDED TO STAY INSIDE
WE SERVED 30 AT OUR HOUSE INSTEAD
OF OUR USUAL AALTO'S BREAKFAST.
AND THE BIRDS KEEP US ENTERTAINED!
THE ROBIN SINGING HER HEART OUT.
WE HAD SOME YOUNG ROBINS IN THE YARD SO THERE
MUST HAVE BEEN A NEST NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM
OUR YARD.
THE CEDAR WAXWING MADE A BRIEF STOP AT THE FEEDER AND POND.
THE WRENS ARE FEEDING THE YOUNG! NOT SURE
HOW LONG TILL THEY WILL FLEDGE
