We picked her up down at son, Bill’s on Thursday and drove on home after a nice visit there. She’s not a dog\/cat person, so we all had to do some adjusting, including the animals, but it’s working out fine. Monique likes picking fruit, so when she saw our Evans Bali cherry trees, still loaded with cherries, she grabbed an ice cream pail and went to picking. She quickly picked half a pail full. Then I pitted them and put together a fresh cherry pie. Luckily, son, David and his family were here for a visit also, so we got to eat a fresh, hot, cherry pie with whipped cream on top to cool it down a bit. Yum!<\/p>\n

Wow, this fresh cherry pie was oh so good!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Monique has never been this far north in Minnesota, as our farm used to be 100 miles south, so I’ve spent a few days driving her around to see the sights. We drove along the Echo Trail, which is as close to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness as you can get in a motorized vehicle. (All motors are forbidden in the BWCA. Most folks travel via canoe.) We stopped at several beautiful lakes. Then we drove a little north and went to the Vermilion Falls, where the Vermilion River crashes down a set of waterfalls, then through a deep, narrow gorge of rock.<\/p>\n

Sunday, we drove north again, to Orr and west, to the Vince Shute Bear Sanctuary, where we got to see dozens of wild, unfenced black bears. Often pretty up-close. One yearling climbed a tree and settled down to sleep with his paws crossed and a smile on his face. He was only about 20 feet away! (Yes, we were on the observation deck and perfectly safe.)<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we tucked in all the tomatoes again while Will was cultivating between the rows of beans, in the Wolf Garden. Monique is a hard worker! When we got home, she grabbed an ice cream pail and went to the berry patch and picked half a pail of raspberries. Gee, I guess I’ll have to make Will’s favorite cheesecake so they can go on the top. Of course, we’ll also eat a bunch right out of the bucket! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
