And a coming event located somewhere in your "Spring/Summer" chart there is this!

Cicada Brood Map

Pollard...you are in the "Sky Blue" part of the map. Shucks! Diane is in the "Piles of Brown" part! (Colors probably chosen by a Michigan Spartans grad!)

Once they all stop yelling and hissing and go sleepy consider them as extra protein for your livestock I guess. (Better Cicadas than a black fly hatch!)

Since the weather thwarted much of my vacation, preventing some spending, I just bought the frequency sensor that will read wind speed on my wind monitor. That and a basic $15 temp sensor were $404. Plan to attach the temp sensor to the pipe that the wind monitor will go on and put a little white cover over it so that the sun and rain won't affect the temp reading.

Went to the George O. White State Nursery and picked up my 10 elderberry and 10 persimmon seedlings, both 2 year seedlings. They're both native varieties but wild eldeberry patches are hard to find. Persimmon, not as hard but it's always going to be on someone's property.

My sinuses say we are in ‘The Pollening’ for sure! :)
