Porch Setting



First time back at the Platz after a spell away.  Day job calls you know – and that’s what pays the bills.  Exercised the dogs today, fetched and swapped-out the SD cards on the trail cameras, summarized the snow blower and put it away, reinstalled the batteries on the lawn tractor and the New Holland gassed them-up and ran them along with the rototiller.  Unpacked a box of garden supplies and hung the wasp trap after baiting it with sexual pheromone.  All the better to trap the queen seeking to start a new colony.  First porch sitting of the season and it felt pretty damn good.  Even observed a bluebird eyeing-up the nest box at the edge of the yard that fledged a brood last summer.  Note to self to clean nest boxes next opportunity.

Part of the My Turn series this Helles Lager was brewed by Howard – Lakefront Brewery’s maintenance guy.   Since it was a chore day this is totally appropriate.  Marchant’s burgers on the grill tonight.
