The Year in Review!!  Jo's Blog

July 30 - The eaglets are as big as turkeys now!  Blueberries just beginning to fade.  Almost daily sightings of a doe and two small fawns near the end of the driveway.

July 23 - Wonderful days.  The eagle chicks (like big chickens now) are feldged and speniding days at the campsite across from the nest.  The loon chicks are now diving.  We've been picking tons of blueberries and they just keep coming!  Raspberries still ripe too.  Wildflowers fully in bloom.  Revision of our air conditioning now complete and working!!!  Ted is coming back to the dining room starting tomorrow!  Welcome chef Ted.  We will now have two fine chefs to serve our wonderful dinners.  

July 1 - guests spotted the loon with a pair of chicks!  wild roses in bloom.  lots of reports of blueberries. Eating wild strawberries!

June 25 - Butter 'n eggs, one of jo's favorite flowers along the gravel road.  Picking wild strawberries!  even some blueberries over a month early.  The blue flag iris dominate the marsh - an acre of them!  Fishing continues good, one of the guests cast his line and hooked - a dragonfly - who promptly attracted a pike. 

June 20 - May flowers and Canada May flowers fringe the paths.  The young eagles are lusty, a young blue heron was spotted on So. Farm; loons and a beaver came right up to the canoe.    All just a five minute paddle away.  What a wonderful place to live.
June 7 - Fishing off the dock continues to supply Tasha and Derek with evening meals.  May flies are also feeding the fish.  

May 30 - Bunchberries all in bloom, wild honeysuckle, lots more strawberries.  And the sand flies arrived.  Lots of new warblers.

May 28 - Jo's Mom died this afternoon - just 32 days short of 103 years .  Peacefully .  Jo will have to completely recenter her life after 6 years of caregiving.  

May 18 - Humming birds arrived!  Chestnutsided warbler sighted.

May 14 - Rain wonderful Rain!  First Rosebreasted Grossbeaks, two Mallard drakes doing a courtship dance at the beach - Two Cooper's Hawks hit the windows this last week.  White Throated Sparrow is doing battle with his image in the window for hours every day!
