Happy Monday Corn Nation!
I hope you all had a great Easter weekend. I got to see a lot of family, which is always a nice way to spend time (at least for those of us that like our families!)
I’m also out in the garden full force now that winter has finally eased its grip on the northern part of the state. The onions are planted and I’m building a raised bed for strawberries. Every year I have some construction project I try in the garden and each year I decide I don’t like that project.
This year’s future failure is a raised bed made of branches and small logs from cleaning up our shelterbelts around the ranch. These are supposed to gradually decompose and turn into a nice pile of compost in a few years.
Prediction 1: The rustic, charming raised bed turns into a shelter for mice and the healthiest, greenest weeds in the entire garden.
Prediction #2. Loyal Ranch Dog will eat any strawberries produced before I can pick them.

Circle back: Maine claims biggest ice disk, at 1,776 feet | AP News
Volunteers in the state of Maine have claimed a world record in a category that few people know exists: The biggest ice carousel. A giant piece of ice estimated at 146,000 tons was cut in Long Lake in Madawaska, and it was set in motion like a slow-moving Lazy Susan to hoots, hollers and high fives on Saturday. The Northern Maine Ice Busters team had to cut through ice nearly 30 inches thick to create to a perfect circle measuring nearly six football fields across. The old record was set in Minnesota last year.
