Went on a nice but cool and windy motorcycle ride with Wes and Gayla.  Never got off of our bikes the whole time.  

Three cute boys!

Taking a picture of Jared and Kimmy with their pens and Eli and Jacob decided to be cute and act like they were writing on Jared's hat ha ha
Love this cute picture

Jared gave me good advice today and told me I should spread out this Clematis Plant.  I thought it was wound on the trellis too tight, but it was fairly easy to do.
Ride through Bay City State Park
Lots of waves on the bay today and many wind sailing
Gayla with her face mask...This was the face mask she wore today....I forgot to take a picture so got this one from her post on Wes's Birthday!

Caught another raccoon!  It was a friendly sweet one!  Kimmy, Jared, and the boys came in the morning to move some blocks for us.  They moved them from the truck to the trailer, and then moved them from the trailer and put them around the fire pit.  The ground was too wet to drive the truck back there.  They all worked together with an assembly line and got done really fast.  They sure are joyful workers too!  It would have taken Bill and I so long!   I don't like Bill doing that kind of work by himself any more.  I was very happy when he wanted the boys to help.  Kimmy and Jared were a bonus! Thank you all so much!  The boys loved seeing the raccoon!  Bill took the raccoon and dropped it off.  I made a rhubarb pie with the rhubarb I picked from the garden.  YUM!  Wes and Gayla wanted us to go on a motorcycle ride with them.  We put our motorcycle in the driveway and joined them when they came by.  They wanted to ride to the Thumb, but when Bill got home from getting gas, he said it was really windy.  We ended up taking a shorter ride, which we were all happy about.  Didn't even get off of our bikes!  I was happy to see Gayla had her face mask bandana and Wes had a pull up neck thing for a mask.
It was nice riding together again!  I went to Vikki's to look at her porch and dropped a pair of binoculars off for them to bird watch with.  Went to Melissa's after that and dropped her big roll of toilet paper off, a pail of Bruce's, and a pair of binoculars for them to bird watch with too.  Kimmy and Jared just got binoculars and that made me think of it.  We are all into birdwatching now.  So much fun!
