This past weekend we “escaped” what was supposed to be a very rainy Saturday at home and headed to see how the thaw is going up north.  We brought Sandy along to walk the land for the first time.  He loved every sniff, and thoroughly wore himself out.

Afterward we drove to Duluth to check out how the big lake (Superior) looked.  There is still plenty of ice and snow along the shore in Canal Park.

We also learned that Sandy is not a fan of seagulls.  Little dog, big noisy birds …  He was ready to be done with that visit!

Back home, it is supposed to be a rainy week.  I have a tough call.  Some time soon I need to get the (now huge again) hibiscus back outdoors so I have room to start my seedlings for up north.  The nighttime forecast is calling for temperatures just shy of 40°F all week.  It will probably be next weekend until I can make that shift.  It’ll be tight on time but it should still work.  Up north there is still snow/rain in the forecast this week.  We’re looking at around a month, maybe more, until seedlings can safely be put out up there.

All in good time.
