Endless summer




Well our endless summer in the Endless Mountains has begun! Actually, it is not really endless. It is only 73 days to be exact. Now that we have ticked off 13 days from that we are only left with 60 days. I may have to reconsider the title to this post--maybe I should call it the summer that is flying by!




We have been busy this June traveling to graduation partys and birthday partys. This weekend we will enjoy some time at the shore. John and Joan Feldi are hosting us at their lovely Barnegat Nj home. Their house is located right on the bay and it is a lovely place to relax!




Here at home we have planted some food plots for the deer and turkey that reside on our property. We have one plot of clover , ryegrass and trefoil, and another of corn. We also helped to plant clover, corn and a brassica mix at the Loux plantation.




We have also planted a garden for our own consumption. Corn, zuchinni, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, eggplant, cucumbers, watermelon, cantalope and string beans. Hopefully, we will have a bouttiful harvest later this summer. We also constructed a makeshift fence around the garden to keep out groundhogs and rabbits.


This year we also planted another apple tree and a peach tree. Blueberries were another addition, however, I think the deer may have had an early treat with the bushes! These photos of the apple trees are from earlier this spring. Now they have leaves on them, however, I don't believe that we will get apples this year. Maybe next year!


I am taking the leap from dial up to DSL next Monday so I look forward to being able to
recieve and make phone while on line. I did not ge tthe fastest DSL out there but it should be significantly faster than the old dial up format! As I like to tell my friends--Welcome to 20 years ago!
