“Grab a shovel.”

“I just grabbed a beer.”

“Put it back in the refrigerator.”

“Why?”

“Blue Bells.”

“Oh.”

“We were down by the cemetery and guess what?”

“What?”

“The Blue Bells are blooming along the river.”

(They look sparse here – but when they bloom in full, the river bottom is carpeted in blue)

“So let’s dig up a truck load…”

“…And replant them along Two Drunk Creek.”

“Maybe we can ask the cats to help.”

“And Scooter too?”

“Sure, why not?”

Skunk is not too sure about Scooter.

The Blue Bells will do well in the shade and rich soil.

On another note:

Two weeks ago, the DNR did a Prescribed Burn on The Minnesota Mosquito Refuge. This is what it looked like last night.

And this is what Scooter looked like last night.
