Elkart Lake Farmer's Market

Some action on the "quiet lake" we were canoeing

Our first canoe trip.

Here he comes for a try at the concrete!

First try-nothing.

It rocked and rolled, but did not pop!

Here comes help!

Peter saw a friend from the concrete factory with his heavy loader. He was hoping that he could force the concrete down on the corner.

90th

Happy 90th!

Special iris showing off the new camera!

We got these plants in Elkart Lake last summer at the Farmer's Market. They were looking poorly after the winter with snow piled on them, but they are doing quite well right now. We do need rain.

Fun! these came up on their own!

Both Smoke bushes are doing well!

Tomato Plant with tomatoes

We cheated a bit and bought a huge plant with blossoms!
