Spring cleaning:

You can tell by the expression on my face that I am truly enjoying this process of washing windows.

The windows had gotten so stained with hard water spots that Jake and I contemplated just replacing them. However, I was raised better than that and instead went in search of someone who would wash them for me. Well, that was a pipe dream. But I did talk with a professional window washer (Jace Neville) who clued me onto some secrests: a heavy duty spot cleaner and 0000 steel wool.

It works!

It was recommended that I not use a drill gun with a cleaning attachment, but I took a chance on a car buffer and, after several passes, the windows do come clean. Win!

Do I enjoy this process? No. Is it gratifying? Yes! I will share this incredible experience with anyone who pays me a quarter, and even then I'll let you do only a small area. Anyone? Anyone??

I don't know about you, but I think it's been pretty darn windy this past month or so. Maybe even longer. That wind wreaked havoc on the road to Hidden Lake, snapping off dead standing trees all over the place, making the road look like a bad game of very large Pickup Sticks. (Am I showing my age?) The guys got busy and killed two birds with one stone...a passable road and plenty of firewood.

Anyone planning on heading to Hidden this summer would be well served to take a chainsaw along. There were days the guys went to clear and there were trees down even before the tree they cut the day before. Wind will do that.

On another note...anyone getting excited for this Friday? Why, you ask? Did you forget??....

It's our opening day!!!! 😃

Hey all!

Those who live in this area know what the weather was this morning, but for those of you far away this was our view. The weather always keeps us guessing...t-shirts one day, a parka and stocking cap the next. It's a good reminder that there is no such thing as control.

But hey! I guess there IS something we can control...our opening day.

Looking forward to seeing you all after...

JUNE 5th!!

Going out with a bang.

This winter was weird...would you agree?? For us, the weather was unseasonably mild, it didn't snow almost the entire month of January, and when we finally did get snow, it seemed to disappear before our very eyes. Like I said, weird.

One of the things this winter really drove home to us is how special Elk Lake is to so many people. Special enough that they found a way to get here, over shallow snow, some grass, and more than a little dirt. It was almost a test of fortitude (or craziness) to see who made it and who had second thoughts. We don't blame the people who simply said "no", but we sure appreciate the people who said "yes".

Except for 2 solid weeks when it was simply impossible to snowmobile here, we actually had a decent and fun winter. Lots of laughs, a few inappropriate jokes, and more pie and hummingbird cake than you can imagine. When I tell you "let me know what kind of dessert you want", I mean it, but getting a request for apple/rhubarb pie in the middle of winter was a stretch. (Yes, I made it.)

Our last day this winter was a couple days ago. We had a large group here from the East Coast and we had SO MUCH FUN with them. Maybe it was that last day of school feeling or maybe it was the group's natural energy, but both Jake and I felt so pumped up all day. Thank you, Maryellen, for organizing the group, picking up veggies for us, and fitting us into your schedule.

And THANK YOU to everyone we got to see this winter. We appreciate you! Next winter will be here before you know it. OX

Darryl entered our lives 2 years ago. His Tinder profile was a bit misleading...he's more the size of a Shetland pony than he is the cute little dog we saw in the pictures sent to us. But he's ours and we love him, from his big soulful eyes to his tail that will whip you like he means it.
