wheeeee!!!!!

Boat's in, dock is down, cottage is opened up. Except for the water. That will happen next time. Cottage season 2024 is officially underway! Wahoo!

no freaking filter. *Thud*

Yes I know my pictures are sideways. I'm too tired to fix 'em. Just lean your head that away ➡️. K thanks bye.

waiting for the run off

We're waiting for the spring run off to happen (historical high water mark on the lake) so we can get the boats and dock back into the water and open up the cottage for the season.

Given how little snow we've had this winter, I wonder whether we'll even see a spike in the water level this year?

ice is out!

The ice is out near the island. Locals are debating whether it's the earliest ice out date ever. Woo!

Now we wait for the high water date to pass and we're back at it. 

On the short term list: master bed mattress, sofa, curtains/blinds, bunky kitchenette.

Longer term: some deck furniture.
