Why so quiet at The Walnut Diary?
July 3, 2013
No reason in particular, I guess. Things are fine at the farm, though the grass is growing at a ridiculous rate and I’ve put a lot of hours on the mower over the last two months. Having almost finished the painting left over from last summer’s window replacement project on the brick house, I lept into roof repairs on the stone house preparatory to the back verandah project.
Still haven’t figured out a design for that one, which might have something to do with the lack of blog activity. But likely not.
Fishing has been slow this spring. Everyone is confused by the early season for bass. They haven’t been where I expect them to be. Things are picking up now, but it’s been slow. Last night I released a 4 1/2 pound largemouth which was unsuitable for the table. Too big.
I just haven’t felt like ranting about politics. Sick of it.
Before long, if history is any indicator, I’ll round up a new hobby horse and get back to blogging.

Just back from a shoot of this little community’s biggest cake since Creation to celebrate its 125th Birthday, being assembled in the town-clerk’s office. Luckily it’s on the ground floor so the excitement preceding the scheduled Fourth of July will be watching them manoeuvring it through the window! Wonder if the chef had a hand in that? He’s a BRIT!

Maybe some blog ammo coming your way with the new Possum Lodge going up in the next couple of weeks.
