weekend update

Here's a photo dump of our weekend!

Chores tackled without pics:

-boat pressure washed

-grass watered 

-outdoor cushion washed

-kitchen caulk finally done (you don't need to see pictures of my caulk)

Thursday arrival sunset:

The lake was a bit choppy/windy which made for a dicey crossing/landing, but the captain got us there like a champ.

New ceiling fan in the boy's room. We need another fan for the bunky, so we upgraded his fan and moved the older one to the bunky. Not shown: old fan in bunky because again we're missing a longish screw to install it. Arg.

lovely day at the lake. This is turning out to be the craziest year yet for weeds. The passage from our "marina" right by the tips of Cow and Long Island's is dense with weeds. I've never seen them so thick in the 15 years we've been on the lake! Will be an interesting summer.

A meh sunset with one lonely cloud being dramatic.

A birthday for this Dingus

As it was just the two of us, no cake, but Moose Tracks icecream is a decent substitute.

Some lilacs transplanted after the Mad Builder ripped out all of my mature plants to build that abomination of a lower deck. Arse.

A deer that we watching swimming across the lake. I'm sorry, what?!! She must've been swimming for ages. Apparently they love to eat poison ivy so she'll dine well if she can avoid her natural predators on the island: angry, chirping chipmunks.

i have video of her swimming, but can't upload it here. Captain on the porch:  "What am I looking at?! Is that A DEER?!?"

 

We heard scrabbling on the porch roof and discovered what looks like a baby grackle. I think there was a nest higher up at the peak of the roof, and it slid down the slippy metal roof panel. So it lives there now.

And that's it for our weekend round up.

Thanks for checking in!
