Good afternoon,

Can you tell this is Norwegian? Old Norwegian mythology required a dragon head be placed at each peak of the roof of each dwelling or building. This one is at one end of the gift shop at Little Norway. This application is some different than I have seen before as there is also the dragon’s spine along the ridge (the blue on the right of the picture behind the head). Most "old" Norwegian buildings in this country had a dragon of one kind or another on each peak.. Most were less pretty!

The temperature has really jumped in the last few hours. It is still about 65º F at the lake shore, but inland, like here, it is much warmer. Green Bay is still hotter and are expecting to break temperature records. The humidity is really the hard part to handle. Fortunately there is a pretty nice breeze, but we also are expecting some thunder boomers tonight.

The day before we left, the church secretary gave us three potatoes for planting and a gad-zillion and 4 leeks to plant. When she said there were a few in the bag, that is really what I expected to find. We have now two rows of leeks in our garden and three hills of potatoes. The rabbits managed to dine on about half of the leek tops last night, ^%$(*&09b. I hope they will come back, but will be sure to get the fencing up around them TODAY! I really didn’t think that the rabbits would bother onion family plants. This is the first time I have had any damage like that. Maybe just a dumb rabbit.

Both of us have emptied the pictures we took from our cameras and put them on our memory stick. Now we get to edit them and then put them into some better sense of order, or story. When we arrived at Little Norway, Margriet’s camera indicated that the battery was about dead. I ended up taking most of the pictures as a result. Toward the end of our stay there, I wanted her to take a couple of some things my camera is not as good as hers to capture. When she turned it on, the battery indicator showed she had a normal battery level again! The net result was she took a bunch of pictures on our way out and a couple of the ferry across the Wisconsin River. Hope we can figure out a reason to return there some day.

Margriet has gotten a load of laundry done and it is on the line to dry. Hope it does in the breeze, but the humidity doesn’t help any. We do have a couple of short errands to run uptown, but we are staying reasonably low today. I want to crank up the mower, but will see about that later. Do have to work on the anti-rabbit program too. Our traveling kit has also been cleaned and restocked so need to put that in its place again too, ready for our next adventure. Probably will happen sooner than later to beat most of the city dudes.

Time to get a-going.

In Christ My Saviour,


Chris <><
