We've had our share of rain. It's good for the plants and gardens. Now the sun is shining and these long days are splendid. It's great for having cookouts in the backyard, playing lawn games, hiking, biking, and assorted summer specialty activities like outdoor music concerts at Chester Bowl or the library. We've added a couple more little bought sculptures in our yard and a new bench. I pulled and cut a bunch of buckthorn and it's time to harvest the Rhubarb. I planted cosmos and zinnias and don't know of the rain washed them away but I'll keep an eye out to see what grows.
If you didn't see the ad in the current Look at Lakeside newsletter, I'm now offering bus excursions from Duluth. Nine trips are lined up and each trip has an art, music, nature, or history connection. The first trips are in July. July 14 will be a trip to beautiful Bayfield. We'll stop at the White Winter Winery on the way out and have time to walk about Bayfield and the south shore. We'll go to the Big Top Chautauqua for the Keeper of the Light musical on the history of light house keeping in the area. The Up North Excursion includes your entrance to the show. Meals are not included. The trip is $79. Sign up today!
The other 8 trips are at www.wendyupnorth.com/excursions. Let's Go Explore the Northland together.
Have a fun and safe summer. Be kind to the bees. Why not convert some of your lawn to bee-friendly plants?

What does Lakeside need? What do you think?
The February/March issue is coming out by the end of the month.
In the issue, I'm asking What does Lakeside need more of? I'd love to hear your responses.
Also, I've added another live music concert. It will be Jim Hall singing and playing his guitar - and probably harmonica too - on February 9 at the Lakeside Lester Park Community Club. Please come and listen to his great music!
I'm always interested in listing good deeds. Share something your club, church, or youth group is doing in the neighborhood.
Thanks again to new subscribers and people renewing their subscription.
Read about the local firemen in this issue - thanks to them for people on hand to handle protecting people and our area.

Time in Lakeside
In Lakeside we can shop, eat, hike, walk, hang out by Lake Superior, buy used books, stop at a Little Free Library, golf, ice skate/ice hockey, watch hawks, hear/watch trains, see wildlife, go to church, grow a garden, go to a high school sports game, theater productions, and student-run restaurant, exercise, and other places to stop or activities.
OLD-TIME MUSIC CONCERT ON NOV 5
One things I'd like you to come to is a Old-Time Music concert on Nov 5 (Thursday) at 6:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Lester Park Community Club. The group will be Four Mile Portage. The concert is only $4 a person and under 15 is free. BYOD (Bring your own dinner) at 6 p.m. Listen to live music in Lakeside. If there is a good turnout I'll organize another live music event in the spring.
I work now at Duluth East part-time as a paraprofessional. Not bad to have a 3 block commute. Most of the youth are good and it's fun to see the variety of talent and experiences available at the high school. I'm looking forward to going to the fall musical - The Addams Family - the end of October.
Other activities I do in town include putting on local art & gift fairs. One is this weekend at the Lafayette Community Center on Park Point, 3026 Minnesota Ave. is the address. Saturday, Oct 10 from 10AM-3PM there will be 16 local artists with locally-made things. Actually one booth will be a local farmer so this year you can even buy cut flowers and a pumpkin. Other upcoming fairs are Get Great Stuff Nov 14 at Duluth Congregational Church, 3833 E. Superior - next to Northland Country Club and Dec 5 the Get It Local Fair at the Peace Church, 1111 N. 11th Ave. E. Local authors and local writers and at some local music and local nonprofits all are ways we can support local creativity and find some really great gifts. I'll have to check my count again but I think the Get It Local gift fair will be the 50th fairs I've organized - or close to it.
The leaves are changing, the leaves are falling, some leaves are covering the storm sewers. Rake 'em up if you can.
