This rabbit was eating between two pine trees but it flattened down when it spotted me hoping that I wouldn’t notice him. I was nice and didn’t chase him away today since yesterday I scared it with the lawn mower.

With the dry conditions, my pond is receding making the critters, like the racoons and deer, walk father down the banks for water. The rain shower yesterday didn’t do much to fill the pond up, but it moisten the edges so the frogs had more wet area to sit and make their croaking noises.

A line of rain showers moved in today and some areas had heavier storms. The sky is often interesting with different cloud shapes and even a bit eerie at times.

There have been some unusual looking butterflies floating around lately as some of the monarchs are mating and are attached to each other as they fly around or rest on leaves. There are several generations in a year and the last generation will migrate south in the fall and return the next spring.

Built in a late 12th century Norwegian stave church style, the Boynton Chapel in Door County was handcrafted by Winifred and Donald Boynton. Winifred learned woodcarving and fresco techniques as they worked on the chapel. There are numerous carvings like the dragon arch of the doorway, fifty-two gargoyles under the eaves, the twelve apostles, carved pews, raised pulpit, altar and baptismal font. Winifred Boynton also painted forty-one frescoes which decorate the interior.

Another summer weekend will have people visiting parks, including Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, which make the news last month when some boaters captured video of a 200 foot part of the cliff that broke off and fell into Lake Superior. The cliffs in the park range from 50 feet to 200 feet above the lake. In 2019, a group of kayakers narrowly escaped injury from another collapse of the cliffs.
