It has been a long time since I last posted...March of 2021. Much of our club activity has been very diminished over the last two years, as has been true of many other activities. Stay tuned for more info. on our Beekeeping 101 class on Saturday March 19th at the Peter White Public Library in Marquette. It sure will be nice to return to at least some semblance of normality.
The bees this winter appear to be surviving the recent cold (-10 this morning). Although snowfall is about normal, 120", due to earlier warm ups, our snow cover is not as deep as normal. I like to see my hives buried this time of year.
* Woodworking as usual
* Making lumber on my small sawmill
* Continuing the maple syrup making...coming soon

* Spending time in the sitting(writers cabin). I did a bio. of my Dad and an autobio., which is all part of a larger family history project
* Still making 50-100 gallons of cider in the fall
* Canning in the outdoor kitchen
* Tending gardens
*Time with the grandkids
* Making new trails through the woods
Twice a week sauna time

** New to me is art...oil painting, acrylics, and charcoal pictures. I am taking an art class from Marlene Wood at the Marquette Library. I was inspired by my 9 year old grandaughter, Sorrel and her beautiful art work.She has since moved to Maine, but I am continuing to take the class. This is certainly a new adventure for me.
Hope to see/hear from you soon.
