The grading is remarkable. Before grading, this area, on the backside of the cottage, looked like an artillery practice site

Sep. 20, 2020 • Here's recovery that's good for the yard and for the soul. Charlie and I planted seven trees and named them. This little balsam is named G&V for the folks.

Other newly planted trees are named Anne, Georgia, Maggie, Charlie and Pete. See the video section to find out which tree is which; I couldn't tell you from this photo.

I can tell you that G&V, the lone balsam, is positioned right in front of the sun room's river-facing window (shown behind the black bucket).

The manly trailer will earn its keep again on the ride home.

Charlie's new small trailer and ATV are needed for Kronenwetter projects.

indeed, the folks live on in our hearts!

Turtle High Banks for real! Check out this old timer that Charlie and I saw on the ride home. He was just off Clear Lake Road near Sunset Drive.

The old turtle had an injury, perhaps an encounter with a boat propeller. He was missing a piece of shell near his back right leg.
There was evidence of healing and he was moving around, I want to believe that he's a tough old fella who will soldier on.
I want to be that tough old guy myself and have my wounds heal up well enough.
