Up North With Mel: July 2014
http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
We are big fans of the LumberJacks and Jills! We, Dear Hubby, myself and my sister headed off to Hayward about an hours drive to the north of us and took in the festivities of the World Championship Lumberjack Competitions. All images on this post were taken from the internet . can you believe it - I forgot my camera! Most of them are from prior years; but many of the same people were there this year as reigning champions trying to hold on to their titles. Wow talk about some flying wood chips. As I stat...

Up North With Mel: October 2014
http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
It snowed last night . we got a couple inches . and it's only in the 30's today. Time to go out and brush off the snow and harvest the last of my mushrooms! I was quite surprised to see that there were still this many coming on. The darker ones are the Blue Dolphin Oysters, the light tan the Pohu Oysters and the ones with the cracked looking caps are Shiitake. I'm thinking a nice ol' kettle of mixed mushroom soup OR better yet . a nice venison loin cooked on the grill smothered in 'shrooms. Yum. After 2 ...

It's been awhile . both the house and garage are finished with the new siding and roof. Sigh of relief! Kota she's a new addition to the family and a real sweetheart . But she likes to get into the gnome garden and carry off things. I had to retrieve Grumpy Troll who lives in his grotto with his pet polar bear and put them back . tucked into the flower bed,. Along with Poppa Gnome . and a few of the other ones. She thinks everything is a toy. The blueberries are ripening. The flowers are bloomin'. Make i...

http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Lookin' out my window. Lookin' out my window . Coming in for the landing. That chickadee is such a show off. I could care less. That was for you Jack! I know how you love it when I para-phrase for the critters :). Until next time . So it goes in my neck of the woods. Doin' the happy dance. I had a great check up yesterday. No sign of the cancer and I don't have to go back to the doctor for SIX MONTHS! Until next time . So it goes in my neck of the woods. That's what I've been up to. Until next time .

Up North With Mel: loonatics ~
http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/08/loonatics.html
Image from the internet. We managed to survive yet another year of the infamous Wisconsin Mercer Loon Day . always held the first Wednesday in August for one day only. Image from the internet. Over 250 vendors pedaling their wares. Attracting 9 to 10,000 visitors to a little town with a population of around 1,700. We always manage to run into friends there . Spend time at the Biergarten at The Pines and listen to great music outside by the bandstand and bar . We always have a great time at this event.

Up North With Mel: June 2015
http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Good bye gray . you served us well for 17 years; but it's time for a change. We decided to change the color of our house! A quick walk around . My flowers along side the house took a beating but they'll revive . if not this year there's always next. We're going to replace shingles yet this year . and hopefully reside the garage and build a boat house and a trapping shed. Yes! The garden too needs weeding. Anybody want to come and pull weeds? Any firewood makers wanting to pile wood for this coming winter?

Up North With Mel: silence ~
http://upnorthwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/04/silence.html
We went fishing the other day. We didn't catch a thing; but we sure did enjoy the silence. Dead silence . it was so calm out . not a ripple on the water except for the little ripples made from our bobber on the end of our line. The only other noise was our soft chatter back and forth. We found ourselves almost whispering to each other, as not to interrupt the silence. Serenity and reflections. What a peaceful, quiet evening. Dear Hubby said, "Isn't this nice? I couldn't agree with him more! Ps I cant bel...
