Kevin and Angelika's Wedding

 

Fococcia bread and home made noodles

 I made for the first time ever some focaccia bread. The key was to warm up the olive oil with chopped garlic and fresh rosemary and oregano for 10 min to infuse the flavors. It turned out nice and light and fluffy, with crispy edges. I did forget to finish with Malden salt, so when it was baking I threw some on top. 

I also made some noodles. 3 eggs, flour and some olive oil with salt. Super good and easy to make too. I added flour to keep the noodles from sticking and that was the trick. Plus added olive oil when they were cooling off in the pan. 

A delicious home made meal!

Weekend

 No editing of this sunset photo from this weekend. The sky was actually that color! 

I did all my tree doctumenting. Wow!! Juut a lot! I'll put it all into one post to save for reference! 

I had to record every stump, species, measure the diameter and measure the distance to property line with a photos of all. I had 6 stumps and 18 damaged trees to record. It was a lot!

While I was doing all the tree recording. Steve was busy building our split rail fence. In all materials for 50 feet were $400. We still have some cement bags and the end posts with 2 rails to make the next section. In all we need 290 more feet. 340 feet in all. Which we thought it was only 300ft long. Gained 40 feet when they knocked down the cliff and made it into a hill sloped to the lake. 

The three of us also went to Alexandria for dinners both Friday and Saturday night. 

It was a bit chilly over the weekend with crazy amount of wind that took down Celina's tent. Thankfully, the wind was a lot less strong and we were able later in the evenign to set that back up! 

St. Croix river

 First time boating on the St. Croix river this year. The water is at the lowest level to start off. 

I wore my new hat to help protect my eye lids since getting surgery. I have to protect them for a year from the sun. It may look funny, but it does the job. It was windy too so I had to secure the hat to my head! 

It started off hot and cooled off a bit when storms started moving in. A really great boating day out on the river.
