Things have been hopping in the news! Here is the Gordie Howe Bridge. A wonderful testament to progress, technology, and engineering. This is Howe's grandson, Gord and wife. They are the first ones to drive across the bridge. A grand gesture. They aren't public figures, but appreciated the opportunity. There was much lobbying, $ millions spent in petitions, by the private owners of the nearby Ambassador Bridge. They donated millions to the orange felon. This bridge is a much better, faster, smoother highway to highway drive.

🦫Barry's wetland is filling up. We had 12 mm Tuesday. Barry has lots of water. It is pouring even as I write!
It's a busy yard. Cinnamon got himself breakfast. A fat, juicy vole.
Butch has been happy eating Serviceberries!

Finally! The bridge opening! Rick is hoping to ride across it at the end of the month with his friend Nino, then spend a couple of days in Canada. I never heard of either frogbit or duckweed till here! Today's blog lesson!
Well, the bridge was opened despite Frumpy's nonsense.
Lots of action.What happened to the other released squirrels?
Go Cinnamon! What a good boy. The Pheobe is beautiful, great capture. And Congratulations on the bridge!
Great that Gordie Howe's family could be first on the bridge!
So much going on out there. I love seeing all the animals living their life.

Good sightings of all your co-residents on the acres!
Interesting, so you call the larger-leafed Hydrocharus as Frogbit... whilst the version I am aware of is somwhere midway in size between that and the duckweed. It is still a Hydrocharus of course, so something of a tomAto toMAYto situation! I am as fascinated that local usage can vary... YAM xx
