At the moment I’m sitting at McDonald’s in Bemidji, which is 30 miles south of Red Lake. I only get 1, 1.5 bars there. 😦 Verizon, what is the matter with you? So I have to come to Bemidji and use my phone as a hot spot here or use someone else’s network.
Time is flying! On the other hand I find myself not wanting to drive faster than 45 mph as I enjoy the scenery. However, other than using the roads to get from my sister’s to my mom’s, I haven’t been able to get deep into the woods as I have been busy with my to-do list for them; fixing stuff around the house like cutting down dead or dying trees, limbs, taking stuff to the dump from my brother’s house which was burned down, and catch up with family members. I’m afraid that one or the other agendas is going to suffer. Anyway, here is what I have so far.
Scruffy mixed-bred dogs
snooze on sandish roadsides
in Red Lake.
Ah! I should have brought my phone cord so I could transfer my pics from that to here. Oh, well, you’ll have to check back next time to see the pics with the text.

whose house burned down? when? C ome to think of it, I haven’t seen her put anything on lately. I assume everyone is okay -yes? Please give Mom a hug for me! And – your writing really isn’t suffering yet! Hugs to you too! I miss trecking around the wilds, too. Tim and I used to just go out walking – thru the fields, woods, grasslands – always an adventure and fortunately he had a great sense of direction and place. Canoeing down the Fox River was always so relaxing and beautiful! Miss that.

Hi Patti!
The place was burned down a couple of years ago. No one was home at the time. Hugs given all around. Nature is grand!

Russ, I’d love to see your home some day. After spending some time in Ely, I can visualize what you wrote above. Around Ely I could appreciate the tamaracks, red pines, shining waters, the quiet, the hope of seeing wildlife, less traffic, the cool fresh air; maybe I am not as much a city girl as I thought!

Debbie,
There is nothing more enjoyable than riding around in the country with a friend. 🙂
