Up North and other stuff

On Wednesday, Dad & Ev and I took a drive up to check on our cabin, The Sandcastle.
All was well there and it was very comfy inside the cabin.  87 outside and 70 inside, who needs A/C!

I left my trail cam there and am looking forward to see what kind of wild life we see on the photos when I go back up in a couple of weeks.  Will it be 4 legged or 2 legged?  Let's hope for 4 legged.

The trail cam view.  Hopefully there will be some fun photos on the memory card when I go back to retrieve it.

After checking the cabin, we met Mary and Rick for lunch in Barnes.

Mary was a high school classmate and Rick is a cousin, it was a fun get together.

The other day, I caught Dad giving Hops a little head rub.

As you can see, Hops was LOVING it.

My Dad, who never wanted us to have cats, doesn't seem to mind having little Hops on his knee.

I have been trying to decide what to do with a flower garden that has struggled this year.

I think it went from being almost only in the sun to almost only in the shade.

I had taken a shovel to it and left the shovel sitting there for a couple of weeks while I was avoiding working on it.

While I was gone one day, my clever parents found 2 more shovels that matched, 

and stuck them into the flower bed too.

Now it looks like I am growing shovels.

Silly parents do silly things to make me laugh.
