Happy June !!







Happy June !
Now that Memorial Day has come and gone.......I guess that is the "unofficial" start to summer....We spent the weekend at the lake cabin.....Saturday was too HOT.......Sunday was too COLD.......and Monday was JUST RIGHT !

I am watering the garden this morning........need to go take some pictures of that now that it is planted..... so "stay tuned for garden pictures".
I will share a few pics from the weekend..........
Jeff on the jet ski........and Rollie the water dog.......and Gus watching.........!

Late night Saturday night......

It doesn't get any better than this.............( A grandfather that comes with his grandson and fishes just off the end of our dock.....we have fish that hang out there)...
See the thunderhead building off to the west........... !


Momma turtle was either thinking about digging her eggs in the yard.....or she did....and we can't tell where she buried them at.

This is a white pelican ...at a little lake down the road...


A beautiful Memorial Day weekend so far.........VERY HOT....95 degrees in Fargo....not sure what is was here at West McDonald Lake, near Dent, MN. I had some things I had to do at home this morning...........so I got here about 1pm this afternoon..... HOT HOT HOT..

Took the dogs for a pontoon ride....forgot to take my camera !....

Have a few pics to share with you.......

Tomorrow we might have a few showers.......and it will be cooler (fine with me !)

Terrific Tuesday !

The other day I just HAD to order these Kaffe Fassett books. I love the "Pickle Dish" quilt on the cover !! Then I read the pattern.....and it is foundation piecing ! Guess I will need to learn how to do that !
Storm clouds from Monday........




A much better weather day than yesterday.....lots of thunderstorms and tornadoes in the area, but nothing right here ! We didn't even get a drop of rain. Not too far away...they had buckets of rain coming down ! Flooding in the fields and roads. Looks like the rest of the week will be good and good weather in the forecast for Memorial Day weekend. Have a great week.....and stay safe.

Now the sun is coming out !


After finding this new quilting magazine in my mailbox..............the rest will have to wait !


Darn Barn Swallows - they insist on building their nest on my light !



Got another pile of black dirt !....then it rained.

A pretty blue sky now! We had some rain overnight.....but going to be nice now.

Sunny day again........

This is Clarinda.......
This is Tiger Lily......
they are sisters.


Another beautiful early summer day here in North Dakota.... This makes about 7 in a row !....I better be careful and not brag too much - they do have showers in the forecast by the weekend.


The Fargo Marathon is Saturday, the 22nd..... I wish everyone well ! I know several who are running.... hope the weather holds for them.

Waiting for the dirt truck.....remember the pile of dirt I had for the garden? Well, that is not enough dirt. The BIG truck is going to bring some more this afternoon.....and then we will have to wait again if it rains... but at least we will have the dirt!

Still have some flowers to plant and might have room for a few more.


Have a great day!................Claudia
