Setters
Companions at home and in the field.....
I would rather hunt without my shotgun than my dogs.
We have lived with three (so far).
Jake (1983-95) |
Tough as barbed wire. An adventurer.... we almost drowned
together twice because of Jake's disregard for thin ice. An athlete....so fast he could
catch woodcock before they got into the air but he was too undisciplined to make a good
team grouse hunter...partly my fault for being naive. Pictured in 1986 |
Catlin (Kate)(1991-2005) |
Solid, steady, a real sweetheart. She figured out
all of our quarry: woodcock, ruffed grouse, and pheasant. She was slower than Jake but
a perfect match for me. It's too bad pheasants were so scarce in her
lifetime. Retired from hunting 2001after being lost for hours in
ND and MN. A photo
retrospective. |
Samantha (Sam) (1998-2013) |
Speedy Sam can make those bells suffer terrible Doppler
shifts. She is smart and has good instincts. She's developing
good steadiness on point but retrieving will take some work. First pheasants and grouse in
2001. Pictured May 2000 |
"Cousin" Nell (2000-2012) |
"Cousin" Nell, from a MI line of
setters, lives with sister Mary et tux, in Grosse Pointe. A bold, smart
dog who is destined to be alpha and, with discipline and owners willing,
may spend some "productive" time in the Keweenaw bush. Pictured
in spring 2001. |

Grapes
In the mid-content north, where temperatures
can vary from +40 to -40o C, grapes are grown only by a few crazy folks. To
learn more about those folks see the home page of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association. I
have a few French-American hybrids (Foch). Most of the vines are University of Minnesota
developed hybrids from Elmer Swenson's work: Kay Gray, La Crosse, St. Pepin, St.
Croix, and numbered selections ES5-3-78, ES3-24-7.... I tried a number of
other varieties like Valiant, Beta, Edelweiss, Niagara, Concord, .....but they either died or
weren't good for wine.
Here's a short picture tour:
