As Those Who Have Followed the blog,

Ice Out is Always a big deal for us.

It means, kind of, that you’ve made it through the winter.  It means things are about to green up.  Geese have been fighting over the ice the last couple of weeks, now they’ll settle in to do what geese do.

While the blackbirds have been back a couple of weeks, now the real song birds will be back soon.  The photo shows the lake at about 11 AM.  By supper it was claear because of a 20-25  mph wind and 70 degree temps.

So welcome to spring.  Gallery open house April 9-11.  First art fair (Davenport) on Mother’s Day.  I take Betsy on the nicest trips for Mother’s Day. Yes I do!

Eat your heart out Austin!

What’s wrong with these pictures, you ask?
And Betsy’s here canning the last of our kind neighbor Jerry Notch’s cucumbers, picked only a couple of days ago.

It’s friggin’ October 12th, that’s what’s wrong with these pictures! There are still leaves on the trees! Fall chores aren’t done. Wood isn’t cut and stacked.

That’s what’s wrong with these pictures!
