Friday Photos: Swiss Alps
October 1st, 2011
What a spectacular view from the gondola station above Zermatt. We again had fresh snow topping the peaks from the night before. We needed all the cold-weather gear that we had stuffed into our day packs. Headed back down to the next gondola station before beginning a 8-hour trek down along side the Matterhorn Glacier. Of course, we stopped for a long lunch to refuel!

Garden Photo: Finally a Watermelon
September 18th, 2011
It was the first year that I’ve tried to grow watermelons and didn’t have much success this summer. We cut numerous melons in an attempt to find a ripe one, without much success. All the references indicate different strategies, but waiting seems to be the best advice! Here is a photo of one of the few ripe and delicious watermelons, picked just before the threat of frost warnings. Minnesota gardening has its challenges!
