The rock field is growing :{_}: I didn't get many pictures as it was still dark. We got to the farm late saturday evening and left before 7 am sunday and it was overcast.

It has been so dry up there the seed couldn't germinate until about a week before the picture. Then it rained so hard it washed trenches in the field. And washed a lot of seed off the field and into the road.

The reason I was at the farm for such a short time was to see my Niece Lauren start a week tour with the Girl Scouts. Ft Mackinaw Honor Gard on Mackinaw Island.

Mackinaw Island in Lake Huron in Michigan is great. The only two motorized vehicles allowed on the island are a fire truck and a ambulance I believe. Its really cool crossing the street and not have to worry about getting hit by a car. But you have to watch for the horse carriages and bikes.
