And back to the mundane...

Another week come and gone. We here at the crazy are gearing up for a working weekend, we hope for good weather. (The weather report says no rain until later saturday.) But the weather report didn't predict the snow we got earlier in the week either so we guess it's just a scattershot type of forecast. Brother Dan and me have been clearing out behind the garage, and in the shed which is due for demolition. (Too bad the city of Ishpeming doesn't allow us to use dynamite, KABOOM!! Shed gone, job done.) We noticed that the DNR is issuing burning permits for Marquette county, so it's just possible we will get to burn some of the brush and such that we collected behind the garage over the years. A few weekends ago we had some friends over and we watched an Ermine come into the yard and kill one of the chipmunks that lives under our garage. (You should have heard the little chipmunk screams!....... Aaaaalviiin!!!) The Ermine is probably a weasel by now, but we haven't seen it since, and we still have some chipmunks. The hunting range for Ermines/Weasels is over 40 acres so it's possible we may never see that one again. But still, looking forward to a weekend with the family, nothing better than that. Spring is here, summer is roaring down on us like a runaway Mack truck, so a lot of work to be done, followed by copious bundles of play. We'll let you know how the weekend goes. Everybody give yourselves a hug and a kiss on the head. (Stand on a chair if you have to.) Ciao for now.
