Gee - it's been rather warm here at the cabin -- getting into the mid 70's to upper 80's! No rain and very little wind - if any.
The other day - Clancy and Big Keith stopped over to watch the NBA playoff finals -- they came in style --- arriving by boat, wearing shorts and sandals. I must say they were brave -- since the mosquitoes are unbelievable this year. We now have our mosquito magnet going full-time -- it's 'catching' lots of the little, annoying critters - the mosquito magnet bag must have gathered close to a thousand!
Below - Ernie is securing a piece of drift wood to serve as a hand rail for our side deck stairs. Looks easy - but he had to spray himself down with lots of mosquito dope just to work. He's just about finished with that project and then, we'll move on to re-staining the decks around the cabin.
The other day Kirby came by on his barge with a load of supplies -- heading towards his cabin. Since it takes him about 45 minutes to cross the lake on a calm day -- and it was calm -- we could see that Kirby spent his leisurely cruise reading a newspaper and guiding his barge every now and then.
One of my tasks I like doing at the cabin -- is mowing the small patches of lawn that we have. There are various places where wild flowers grow and I enjoying seeing them -- so I'm careful not to mow them down. With all that in mind, while mowing yesterday, I came across a patch of little blue flowers -- Forget-me-nots -- the Alaskan State flower.
The goose buoy I put out the other day -- still floats. I believe its going to remain floating - but it has yet to be tested by the winds.
Below - is a view from our cabin - looking up lake. The water levels continue to rise each day - slowly coming closer to shore and the snows are melting from the mountains.
Take care - and thank you for checking on us.
