I tried to make a slide show for all my June/July photos but Picasa has not been working. Here are some highlights.

Canoeing down Minnehaha Creek, with a stop at Hickory Island to pull garlic mustard (volunteer thing).

We've decided to try a new beach each time we go swimming. This one was Wayzata Beach.

Grandma B's big 70th Birthday party was yesterday. Rich was asked to make an egg-free cake. Since the party was on a river boat we opted for cupcakes.

Garden shots.

New planting area.  Ostrich and lady ferns.

Japanese beetle catcher.  We have and infestation, due to our poor soil and weedy back lawn.  I have plan - and luckily for me, no mow will work as part of the solution. To Be Continued.

First vegetable harvested from the garden (besides herbs).  Chubby kohlrabi.
