Kids, Lakes, Loons and Pines

I found my first ripe blueberries of the season. With early heat and humidity, and just enough rain. These gifts of the woods have started to appear! 

Around Here...

Wildflowers are blooming and the garden is taking shape. This year in my garden I have a flower garden plot along with my canning garden staples. I have some zinnias, johnny jump-ups, and lavender blooming and I am enjoying the progression of the rest of the garden expanding from the soil.

We're getting some form of lake time almost every single day. In, on, or nearby water we enjoy the experiences we can have with such close access to so many beautiful lakes.

This act of sharing photographs and ramblings of our daily life is a practice in gratitude that brings me joy.

I encourage you to reflect on the good in your life.

What are you grateful for today?

Snapshots from Cuyuna

It is the season of summer adventure here in Northern Minnesota. Last week I went on a quick escape to Cuyuna to go mountain biking.

Although there are no actual mountains in Minnesota, there are a lot of new single-track mountain bike trails that have been developed as restoration projects at abandoned mine pits.

We had a lot of fun and only had one small setback (a pinch flat that we resolved quickly with some help from a local bike shop)

Our accommodations at True North Base Camp were great! We will definitely be going back.

Look what I found deep in the woods yesterday!

There are so many seasonal treasures to be found. This blog has been a great way to document and share my ramblings and snapshots with you in this space.
