Some Times You Need To Use Force

Camping by season in North Dakota.

Each season brings it's own challenge to camping. Spring can mean tics and cool mornings. Spring also means you are not likely to jump into a lake that just a week or so ago you could walk on (ice). Summer is my favorite time to camp as there are few flying insects where we camp and the water is usually comfortable. 

Fall is good except for flies and bees. Man, did we ever have the flies this Labor Day. I'm glad I brought an adequate supply of fly swatters. 

I have yet to camp in the Winter but it seems to be gaining in popularity here. Maybe if you consider an hour or two of ice fishing "camping" then I've camped in the winter.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

We don't have many flies, but sometimes the yellow jacket population thrives. It's not every year, but we had them this year. I found that a spurtle (scottish utensil) can also be used as a bee swatter. Haha.

Kat Palmiotti we had our first year in a long time without yellow jackets nesting on our house. I'm very thankful.

Good morning, Bob... I always knew there was a reason I did not camp (in any season). Did it once with the Girl Scouts when I was 11 or 12 and I knew I did not have to repeat the experience. :)
