Fairing Well
We found ourselves tooling down the road at 75 mph in a 65 mph zone while getting passed by motorists doing 85 mph. Such is life in the fast lane down in Minnesota’s Twin Cities. I have to assume everybody there is late for something – late for work, late for supper, or late for the big game. It’s all a bit much given my wife and I could pull off a game of pickle ball between occasional cars going by on State Highway 73 that runs in front of our home. Yeah, it’s pretty quiet out there. But beyond the high-speed lane changes , tailgaters, and missed exit ramps, lies the Minnesota State Fair and by golly, we intended to get there.
LVCC to Host Three Events in September
Mark your calendars for these three exciting and varied events to be hosted in September at the Lake Vermilion Cultural Center.
The Prompts of Open Art Exhibit September 4 – 27 at Northwoods Friends of the Arts!
Cook, MN: The Open Art Group is a gathering of friends who paint, draw, collage, carve and more. This creative group of artists meet at the Gallery each Monday from 6 – 8 PM. The Monday evening group is open to all, and registration is NOT required!
Garden Goodness
Our vegetable garden, like the old gray mare, ain’t what she used to be. The problem is encroaching shade from nearby maple trees that I cannot bring myself to cut down.. So, the garden must duke it out with the shade and we’re satisfied with whatever results. The result this year has been a surprising and most appreciated bounty of cucumber. So, rather than reinvent the wheel, I offer again, “In Season” from the book, “She Won’t Mow the Daisies” – edited for brevity.
