The weather here has been awesome for the past week or so. One day of flurries, but the rest of the time was great. I hope some little girlie doesn't bring bad weather home with her next week. I got my chores done early today so I took the Ski-Doo-Bee-Doo for a ride out to the A5 road and up to Brule Lake.


A pair of wolf tracks on our driveway.




The wolves walked all the way from the A5 up to our road.




The Notman road at the A5 junction.




The A5 road.




Wolf pee-mail.




There are a couple of trees down on the Notman road, just before the Davis turn off. I'll get them tomorrow.



The bathroom is finally done except for some decorating touches that will wait 'till after slushy season. Grasshopper will post pics on her blog.

On Sunday we went to the Fowler's to celebrate Jose's birthday. It was a beautiful day and we all had cocktails on the patio.




I guess if you live long enough you meet lots of people who send you cards. Or, maybe it's just that Jose is a really nice Lady.



Jose's beautiful table, before we made a mess of it. I seem to have lost my camera after the food was served.



Grasshopper on her way to town this again morning. You will notice that I have taken out the tree line. There is still lots of ice and water on top to lubricate the sliders on the snow machine. Lots and lots of snow in the bush. Daily highs have been around +10, but they are calling for lows the next few nights around -13. But I think that bug season is not too far away. Gotta go and paint the trim in the bathroom, see ya later.

I know that it has been awhile, still stuck in the bathroom doing the reno. Yeah Razor, I know the best way to ruin a camp is to bring in a woman.


Spring has sprung
The grass has ris
I wonder where ...
We might have to wait a week or four to finish that rhyme.












Tuesday/Wednesday we had a rain storm with winds almost up to 100kph. Most of the snow on the lake is gone. Then the temperature fell to -20 and froze everything up solid. The south side of the lake still has some snow on the shore line, but the north side is bare. We are going to the Fowler's on Sunday for a birthday party and we will have to hug the shore.




I know that I have been slow in updates lately, but a certain baby brother hasn't updated since January. Have your megabytes frozen up way there?

And a certain nephew is wasting his time as a Bill Gates minion. Baa Baa.

Gotta run and put on a coat of primer, see ya.

I know that it has been awhile. Been busy shoveling snow. We have had a couple dumpings of snow and one good blizzard. On Friday we had a contest to see who could get their truck stuck on the New Notman road. Every body tied for first place. Some people had soooo much fun that they played again on Saturday. When we have had time, we also worked on the reno job in the bathroom.

Yesterday was the first annual Kelly no fish derby birthday bash. Here too, everybody tied for first place.





Kimo just hates to get his picture taken.



Then it was back to the Kelly compound for eats and birthday cake. L to R, Steph, Dan, Kathleen holding Carma, Den and Kaarina.



Carma enjoys a cup cake.



Kathleen smells her scented candles, just before Grasshopper or Carma threw it on the slate floor.



Kaarina checks out Den's new cordless power tool.



PYROMANIAC ALERT!




My BEST FRIEND, if that ticket wins.
