A Quiet Day

Yesterday was a quiet day.  We took advantage of the 30 degree temperatures with no winds by taking a walk across the island.  One of our followers had a question - which is noted below in the first photo.


One of our readers asked us how we dispose of our used cans. Used cans are rinsed and then sent to the 'canning' block - this is how we reduce the size of  our used cans. in order to economize on trash space.  The smashed cans are then cycled into a storage bin.  When spring comes we will take the bin to the recycling center for disposal.

On our walk yesterday we saw Maggie, the little moose resting amongst the Birch  Trees.  She is hanging out on the other side of the island.   Can you make out her form?

These are Trumpeter Swans.  They are very keen about staying away from the shore when they hear  the faintest  sound.  I've been trying to sneak up on them to take a picture - so far I've not been successful - this is the best photo I've been able to achieve.  More work needed on my part.

Today, we are going to begin putting up the cabin's interior pine planks.  Ernie will do the majority of work - and as his helper, I will sand the planks and hold planks in place as needed.  I'll let you all know how this project goes.

Catch you all later~~
