The new revised Draw

 We got between 2 to 3 inches of rain in the morning on Saturday.  Phil and I ran out to the draw in Jormungandr to check on the newly installed drain tiles.  There was no water standing on either side.  We could see where the water had eddied and ran through the tubes so they worked as planned.  The soil on top is not packed yet so isn't drivable.  I could see where deer had pranced up to the bridge but not attempted to go across that soft surface.  It will settle in.  I checked out the wild plums - they are turning purple, the wild apples - they are turning red, the chokecherries - the birds are eating them up, and figured out the sweet smell on the breeze isn't from the agrimony, asters, or virgin's bower but from the goldenrod.  (Phil thinks it's a musty smell.)    I had picked up a block of mineral salt so put that in the back of Jormungandr and drove it out to the deer lick.  Also drove out to put the garbage bin at the end of the road for garbage pickup day.  Tonight Phil loaded some scrap wood into the back of Jormungandr and put it out in Ragnarok in preparation for a wiener roast.  The new table and bench that I sat out there worked well as a staging area for ketchup, mustard, drinks, napkins and other accoutrement.    I'm not a fan of wiener buns but the whole hot wiener, soft bun, tangy mustard, and acidic ketchup was an excellent combination and tasty.   Interestingly the  second wiener didn't taste anywhere near as good.  The fist taste to see if the baked beans were hot was great but by the time I finished them - not so much.   My takeaway is twofold: on a picnic eat only 1/2 as much as you think you want - and- a UTV is a very useful gadget to have.
