Jim and I took the day off yesterday to drive up to Lake Superior and Duluth.  It was a perfectly gorgeous day, in the mid-70F range with a little breeze.  We took Gael and Solo along with us; they had a grand time chasing sticks, chasing one another, jumping in the lake and rolling in the sand.  We wandered up to the viewing point on Canal Street to watch the ore boats coming in - and spent a certain amount of time looking at real estate ads once home!

Today I hauled in what tomatoes are left; they are seriously blighted and it's forecast to freeze tonight so that's that.  I also brought in houseplants and drove over to look at some oat straw.  It's only $2 bale but the bales are pretty darned small.  Small sometimes is good however - manageable, I'm thinking...
