Living in paradise....

I know that some people think I am crazy. I live on the edge of a vast forest, in the middle of no where. If you want to see me - you really want to see me. The last ten miles are dirt road all the way.

But when you get here... you understand why I want to live here. Life on the pond is a visual feast most days.

The weather is always changing. Don't like it? Wait a minute, it will change. Today the sky is blue between patches of steel gray cumulus clouds. There was a shower a bit ago that watered my tomato plants nicely.

I was working down on the dock today and the black flies finally drove me in the house. As long as there is a breeze they can't bother you. But when the air gets calm - be prepared for an attack. By the end of June they will be gone.

Late July, through August and September are some of the best days here. Warm days and cool nights.

Today it is 63 degrees. The sun is shining through the clouds. It is glorious.
