Notice new visitor at Cabin



Ouch! the price of gasoline jumped nearly 30 cents yesterday while I was at my cabin. I passed several stations in the AM when gas was $3.35 per gallon and when I returned home the same stations were $3.69! I guess the profit taking for Memorial Day started early this year!




On an unrelated note, while I was up north, I noticed a new visitor to the bird feeding station:


Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrels are much more common in open environments such as grasslands, but this sunflower collecting squirrel showed up at the edge of my Jack Pine forest to pack away the sunflower seeds that have spilled from the bird feeder. It's about the right time for raising young, so I'll be on the look out for any kits they may have,
