May 2, on our way to summer.

We have been doing a few odd jobs around the house, and getting outside to enjoy the warm weather the past couple of days. Yesterday afternoon was warm and sunny so we got out for another hike around the farms near Point Oneida. We parked near Thorsen Road and hiked for about two hours through the woods and fields and around a couple of the old farms left on the park property.

The weather forecast calls for chances of rain and thunderstorms but warm temperatures through the weekend.

The park service has been cutting invasive species of trees and bringing the logs to a field near this barn. They have been using a portable sawmill to cut the logs into planks for use in projects around the park such as renovations of buildings and boardwalks across the dunes.

A farm on the south side of M-22. They have an annual farm festival on this site each summer and demonstrate some of the old farming techniques used in the past to make a living off the land.
