This Sunday, there may have been some camping and nature hikes to celebrate Father’s Day. And a hiking path with a waterfall at the end of the trail is always a treat.

Haying equipment could be seen in the fields today, but the hay rakes today have a different look than this old dump rake. The working era of the dump rake started in the 1840s but as side rakes and then wheel rakes were invented, the dump rake usefulness faded with time. But once in a while you might spot a bit of history in its sunset years.

On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating the design of the flag. In 1885, Bernard Cigrand, a small-town Wisconsin teacher, held the first recognized formal observance of Flag Day at Stony Hill School in Waubeka and is credited with being the “Father of Flag Day” and President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day in 1916.

A native iris, the blue flag, is often found on the edges of water or marshes and is one flower my deer do not seem to eat so at least the bees have a few flowers to enjoy now that they are blooming this season.

A summer Sunday afternoon is a great time for a hike through the woods to visit a waterfall, like Morgan Falls, a tall, narrow falls with a 70 foot drop (which the top not showing in the photo).

Catching that elusive big fish may not be at a lake, but at the base of a waterfall and I wonder if this boy was lucky on a summer Saturday afternoon.
