Back at the lake for another summer.
It's cold and windy and there are dead bugs everywhere. I still love it.
It's still early. I like these aspen trees better when they have leaves on them.
I finally opened the boathouse and let the ducks out.
Unpack, clean, purge, repack all the kitchen cabinets. How much Tupperware is too much?
I finished my "deep clean" of the kitchen. All this stuff is destined for Barely Used in Park Rapids.
It is still freezing cold here! I'm going to let my Roomba make a start on the Asian beetles in the log cabin.
I put the deck furniture out even though it's too cold to sit out here. Next week will be better.
This is just wishfull thinking today but soon I hope.
Rob and Terri and Riley arrive. I hope they brought some warm weather them.
First bass of the year with Burney. A good day: Bill 5, Burney 9.
Hummingbirds are here.
The wind finally died down enough to put in the dock. Rob has spotted a bass.
Boat in the water. Not too windy today but cold (mid 40s)
Can you see this? The birdbath is frozen over! WTF.
Before
This is left over from last year's wind storm.
During
The battery powered winch broke so we resorted to the old come-along.
After
Nothing left be a little hole in the ground.
We started re-tarping the carport. With a little bit of effort we were able to make this a two day project.
We got Rob's Tracker bass boat out of storage.
Last year's porch pine is past its use by date.
A new tree - good for this summer's hummingbird perch.
Bill Mills has returned so the Friday Breakfast Club is back to fiull strength.
While this seat is comfortable I get a wet butt after sitting in it. It needed to be removed and weep holes drilled through the bottom shell. We'll see.
