A new view of Tyler Hull from the sidewalk.
This gentleman who sits "Lincolnlike" in the Dimondale Cemetery looks much more visable since a lot of recent tree cutting throughout the cemetery.  He was a prominent pioneer citizen in this area in the mid-1800's.  The base says he was an educator, physician and legislator.  When we moved here it was popular for teenagers, after dark, to climb up and sit on Dr. Hull's lap!  To prove their success they would leave a pop or beer can on the doctor's knee.  Cynthia, Sharon and Don have never confessed doing it so I think they showed proper respect to the deceased.  Any current resident who has lived 30 days in Windsor Township at the time of their death has a free cemetery lot .  That is most unusual.  They all make very good neighbors for us.

Sweet Corn time in Michigan


Our project for this morning was picking and freezing corn. See the full baskets on the path. The yield was 11 quarts, off the cob. We have also been enjoying fresh corn for dinner the last 5-6 days. Being outdoors now makes us mosquito bait. There are just swarms of those pesky insects around us as soon as we step outside. Dad/Grandpa says it is the worst he's seen here!

Funny Tracks

I woke up and looked out at the top of the spa this morning and saw these funny tracks.
After looking around and then taking the top off the hot tub I found the perpetrator x2.
