Grandchild #3 has turned 8 years old. At 8 each grandchild gets their first solo visit to the cabin with us. For two weeks they get to hang out with us to do the work and fun of cabin life. This guy likes to fish, chop wood and ride the tractor with Grandpa. On rainy days we play Carom and Dutch Blitz. Funny thing…he doesn’t seem to miss “technology” at all.

We came early to the cabin this year. The trillium are blooming, the birds are singing and we are getting some good spring rain for the garden. I have seen an orchard oriole, black and white warbler and scarlet tanager so far. I must get the hummingbird feeder up. We’ve had one coming to where the feeder was other summers.
