We’re getting some beautiful weather here in Michigan this Summer. This morning I took the dog and went around taking some pictures from around “the yard”.

My dog sitting in the Ranger EV.  I intend to write up some impressions of this vehicle. We absolutely love it. It’s silent which lets us putter around the woods looking at wildlife but still a great utility vehicle for moving things around.  This picture was taken in the orchard.

It’s been a rough year for the bees. I lost 3 of my 5 beehives this Summer. CCD. The bees simply left. Hives full of honey (or were until the yellow jackets stole much of it before I could get to it).

This is the pond we had put in this year.  It helps reflect a bit of extra light on the solar array. There are a ton of frogs and minnows in it.

Another picture of the pond.
