Molly and I leave early tomorrow morning for our spot at the end of the Rainbow! For the sixth year we will serve as lighthouse keepers at Crisp Point. This light is at the far end of Lake Superior and is very remote (19 mile dirt road to access). Unlike some lighthouse keeper gigs which offer nice accommodations, our keeper’s residence is our small pup tent pitched 30 yards from the big lake. When the last guests leave late in the afternoon, we have Lake Superior all to ourselves with noone within miles! We love it. The lighthouse is off the grid  and we will return next weekend. Thus, no more blog posts for the next seven days. Once again, thanks to Heather-Marie who will be house-sitting in our home.

Here next to Amity Creek the bird migration is in full force. I was actually surprised to still have Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds fighting over our garden. This twosome definitely had a disagreement.

Finally, when I left this morning for a quick birding excursion I became distracted. Just like a few days ago when I was bridged, today I was steamed! What boy can resist hanging with a steam engine. Enjoy.
