Hi there…
Whew, time continues to fly by, and now we're in May, although it feels a little bit like late March because suddenly it's a little bit chilly. A real roller coaster of weather we've been having this spring. So...way back in march a huge flotilla of white pelicans showed up right in front of our house. They started heading toward the bay... And then they glided right into the bay and it was a marvelous sight to behold. I even took a little video. https://youtu.be/riH48oaKwt4 They didn't linger too long in the bay. So spectacular. And that's the excitement in March. Ok then, Mrs....

So long, February!
This morning, March 3rd, the lake has finally thawed, it's sunny, and might reach 60 degrees. Whoo hoo! I thought maybe this would be my last post from February but then was a little dismayed to see...
Happy Birthday Mom!

Valentines in Times of Covid

Valentine’s Eve Merriment
On Saturday February 13th Kevin had turned on the bathroom faucets so they'd drip through the night and our old pipes wouldn't freeze. Les Paul jumped up on the sink and took great delight in...
the last of January, from here in February
The bitter cold has settled in, with temperatures maybe climbing into the teens, and it's just going to get worse this weekend. It's 16 right now but feels like 2 degrees, and over the weekend the...
Happy Saturday morning!
The sun is shining, always a nice thing, but the temperature is going to start plunging tonight and it'll be super duper cold for at least the week. Last night Kevin turned on the faucets in the...
mostly kitties in January
Early in the month as I packed up decorations, Les found this outdoor mat to be the most comfy place to lie down on. A couple of times Riley jumped up and sat on him and then they got into a little...
Excitement in November…
...relatively speaking, of course. On November 17th I saw more than one boat out on the water and then I realized a lot of noise was coming from across the lake. I got out the binoculars and could...
