Just a quick update. We are up in the UP, staying in the cabin on Sand River. I haven’t stayed here for over a year. This is still one of my happy places, but it’s different without Jean here. Something’s missing. Like a song without the words.

We got in some birding but it came at a cost. The mosquitoes up here are on some kind of a Jihad. They’ve gotten more blood out of me than a Red Cross blood drive.
Kind of says it all, doesn’t it.

It’s still spring up here. Temperatures are in the 50s and 60s. I’ve gotten some river time in but not much in the way of odenates. At least ones that will cooperate with me.
