Bad news, good news!

The Weather Channel and others predicted rain for today.  But we had mostly blue skies today.  Instead of periodically sitting inside waiting for the weather to clear, we were out and about and chipped a humongous pile of brush.

No rain means that our well level will stay too low to be usable; we'll have to bring water from Duluth.  But because it is so dry there are fewer bugs.  I think we had one fly today in our cabin and zero bugs outside.

Climate change can mean more violent weather.  We had quite a few blowdowns this year.  But, given fallen tree tops and small trees blown over, we don't have to fell bigger trees for firewood.

When life gives your lemons, make lemonade.  But don't put too much sugar in the lemonade, you'll raise your cholesterol.
