Ketchup time.  Grab two, it's a big one.


Last Saturday. 

It was a cool morning.

The shoveled paths are bare. You can almost see the fire pit.

I checked out the ol' swimmin' 'ole. I can't explain the outlines in the ice over the holes.

So, you have a yen for pizza, but Topper's can't deliver? No problem. DIY. A thin crust for her.

A regular thick crust for him.

 

We rested on Sunday, but Monday we done give 'er. 

Usually the old Ski-Doo-Bee-Doo gets put away all muddy. So this year we put 'er away early, all nice and clean.

G'night, see ya in about 215 days. And you will have a sister then, too!

Grasshopper got a load on the line.

Even George got out.

The Arctic Cat is ready to prowl.

HEY! There's the fire pit!

Starting to open up along our shore.

I could fit in that hole.

You can still see all the tracks heading to Wolf's bay.

Our snow ramp is almost done.

A big crack in the ice.

Grackles.

All hand split.

Tuesday morning was foggy.    

Dark skies in the afternoon.

Yesterday water flowing on the ice.

Kat called Cat and told her she was going to town Thursday. We decided to check out our driveway and the Notman road to see if Kat could pick up Cat and take her to town. We're outta that fresh green stuff.

There is still tons of snow on the driveway with water running underneath in a few spots making ice bridges, or streams across the road.

The Transformer had no problem negotiating the trail.

The Notman was bare.

This morning we waited for Mrs. Slate at the 9.5 mile turn off. Patience, Don.

This is the latest fashions for Tomiko ladies to wear to town.

Bye, bye.

The off ramp to the Brule Lake road.

It's hard to get a good perspective, but the ice is close to 2 feet thick here.

This section of our driveway is flooded.

Our gate.

It looks kinda inviting, except for that skim of ice on top. Time is running out to get Grasshopper in there. The lake opens up at the shore and the surface gets slushy later in the day. Grasshopper sez that she doesn't want to get a soaker on the way to the pool. 

So you only have a day or two to get Grasshopper cooled off, and as an added bonus, I'll go again! 

Donate here.  

And that's why stupid people are so loud.

Mwa haha
