I’m up in the Boundary Waters region and Grand Marais, the scenery is less stunning because of the haze, but we’re still enjoying ourselves. No cell or WiFi except at the lodge, where I come once a day to check messages.

I’m happy to announce that our small flock of chickens have started laying eggs again, after their winter break. We should not have to buy eggs again until November.
