Today we begin reconnecting with Mother Nature. Jan is planning on spending a lot of time while we’re up here with dirt under her fingernails, she’s a happy camper even just getting the front yard under control.
That's the boathouse, by the way, not the cabin.
A Yellow Bellied Sapsucker decides that the chimney on our discarded stove in the front yard might be a good place to store acorns…he’s hammering away at it and sounding like a demented drummer. Hasn’t yet made a dent in the chimney, I hope he hasn’t seriously damaged his beak (or brain). And, of course, we both renew our acquaintance with the “official” state bird of Minnesota…yes, that would be the mosquito. Jan’s considering what to do with the one she’s just captured.
Ringo Starr wannabe.................................................and a stunned victim awaiting waterboarding.

There are other old friends waiting to welcome us, including a visitor on the wall of the showerhouse.
Some spider or other...anyone recognize it??
At the end of the day we head down to our dock as usual to watch the sunset, but it’s a bit colder than we would like.
How do you turn up the heat??
And it’s not really much of a sunset.
