Come on spring

Hello Readers

Well spring is here but this morning when I took Mollie for her walk it was about 15 below! We still have patches of snow but a majority of it is gone. The lake is still frozen although there was water at the edge yesterday. Usually the lake does not break up until April 23 or so, however this year I suspect it will go sooner.

I can' t remember if I mentioned in early blogs that I took down the old birch tree that hangs out over the water. Yes, a landmark and an easy way to identify our place from the water, however it was getting very dangerous and the easiest way for me to bring it down was onto the lake while it was frozen. It had been hanging lower and lower every year due to its weight and the sandy shore line and this winter I noticed it was even lower. There was a time when you could easily walk under it or even boat under it but when I took it down it was really not that far off the ice.

In the fall we also had several loads of gravel brought in to tidy the driveway up from the road all the way to just in front of the office and around the back of our house. So this year we do not have our usual "lake" to cross through just before the road.

Summer is filling up, we are over 80% booked, but we still have some openings in most weeks. So if you have stayed with us before or are looking at coming up for the first time, there is still cottages available. Just give us a call or send us an Email.

Till next time
