Cool Weather

Last week it was cool, misty and windy weather. I learned a new weather term last week, "record low, highs" we had a couple of days where it didn't get into the 60's. Great for sleeping and wood pile working.

Saw lots of deer and fawn movement, deer flies. The deer flies are driving the deer out of the deep woods onto the roadways and open areas where they can get protection from the bitting. My neighbor who was stoped on the road talking to another neighbor when he saw a wild timber wolf cross the road. Wolf sightings are rare this time of year, we more often see them crossing the lakes on the ice in the winter. We are seeing more young geese and ducks swimming on the lake as their mothers flocks their young together.

Many community summer events have been taking place this past week. Walker had it's "Moondance Jam" featuring Sheryl Crow and other headline groups, Cass Lake had its 9th Annual Rib Feast featuring "Famious Daves" restraunt chain. Bemidji had its "Art in the Park" festivities by their lake.

Fishing continues with some nice Walleyes being caught with either Leechs or nightcrawlers.
