Life on the Bog • Ep. 302 • Turtle Traces

May 30-31, 2024
Annual flowers pickup day. Then a trip to the coop for grocery staples where I'm learning the glorious extent of its rich variety of organic goods. The south pool has filled remarkably from the copious rains, unlike Otter Pond; the level is up, but not nearly to the degree of the south pool. It's a head scratcher. I discover evidence of turtle racing at Otter Pond.
LIFE ON THE BOG chronicles life lived closely within the natural world of northern Minnesota, its seasonal shifts, observing the wildlife passing through and the rhythms advancing: grouse drumming, peepers screeching, trumpeter swans trumpeting, tree frogs keening, grosbeaks fluting. This journey is at times absurd, reflective, humorous, slapstick, thoughtful, silly, contemplative, and laughable, but never profane.
