May need to bring that one to Plover, WI!

My new chicken road destroyed the little trail to the turtle lot.  So we smashed rock with picks until some stairs came out.

nothing profound.  just a trail.

Once the trail gets all the way through i think i need to go back and make the trail wider in a lot of spots.


I'm supposed to walk at a rather exact pace.  Lotsa steps.  So I walk the prescription pace and end up at the end of my trail with a pick in hand.  Then do ten to fifteen minutes of sweaty work.  Then walk back.

The asian pear tree had about 20 pears last year.  Stunning.   It had over a hundred blossoms this year, and then a late frost ...  now there are 3 pears left.  

Dibs!

The sedum is just starting to bloom.  In a few days it will be covered by dozens of different kinds of pollinators
