Starting to Look Like Spring


Finally some warm weather.  High today was in the sixties and the low last night was a warm 31 degrees. We are seeing lots of  snow melting. Our road down to the Lodge is open -- well drive able from our house to the Lodge but not from the main entrance to the Lodge.

I took this picture after dinner of the Lodge that shown only a small snowdrift remaining on the north side of the building. The snow on the roof and on the west side of the building is all gone! Compared to the Lodge picture posted earlier the snow is definitely departing. Most of the snow melt has occurred over the last three days

We have all of the canoes that were stored in the Lodge out and are starting to get things organized inside the Lodge for "opener".  Today. I moved some new beds and a sofa into Cabin #2. By opener I hope to have the old beds and a sofa sleeper moved out of this cabin and up to the "hobbit" house on the top of the hill.  (As I get older I am finding that moving sofa sleepers is definitely not a one man job.)  Tomorrow we are going to Duluth for a food show and to stock up on cleaning and maintenance supplies. On Thursday we will move the dish for the Internet and fishing license machine from our house down to the Lodge.

My second picture is for all of the people who reserved canoe permits in early May. The lake ice on Poplar has started to darken and is beginning to pull away from the shore. This shot looking west from the outfitting building shows some open water along the north edge of Poplar Lake. This is the first day this year that we have seen open water on our lake!
