Spring Has Sprung
Early and mid May has found central Wisconsin in the throws of some extremely fine, really unseasonable fine, spring weather. Since last year was nothing but one series of rain storms after another, I was not able to do necessary house-maintenance, and so have been involved in an ongoing series of 12 to 14 hour work days staining, varnishing, gardening, landscaping, cleaning, and other tasks that have kept me off the computer and away from my blog.
But, now that the lion’s share of such chores is done, I’m back. Just in time to head to Michigan for a weekend fly fishing school at the Pere Marquette Lodge in Baldwin, Michigan. I’ve done schools for them over the past 20 years, and I always look forward to their hospitality and the chance to visit with old friends.
And then it’s off to the west coast for fishing and visiting.
All I could think of as I looked down the length of the cedar siding was Robert Frost's words: "And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."
The great weather has the rhodendron in full bloom. They look great against the freshly stained house.
