A few pictures

 

We already pulled in a hummingbird. The red plastic lid and the pink surveyor's tape are to make the faded feeder more visible. Hummingbirds are (supposedly) attracted to shades of red. The only species we have in Michigan are the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds. I heard him before I saw him.

I don't know if the attractor worked, but it made me feel good to think that I had done everything in my power to let them know that the bar was open for the season.

I got a late start working today. I got 300 onion sets into the ground. The ground looks funny because I press a short length of 2X4 into the soft ground to give me a frame-of-reference for spacing.

The last two-hundred feet of potato row. The seed potatoes were "single-drops". That is, small potatoes that don't require cutting. They plant much faster than cut-seed potatoes. They are "position-agnostic" when planted and obviously don't take time to cut.

The early Red Pontiac potatoes that I planted with Quicksilver's help on April 23 are emerging. 

I looked at a boat that was for sale beside the road. 13', rattle-can painted for camo. They want $500 but will probably take $300 if it sits there a couple of weeks.
