Pictures of the Meadow

A quick walk through the backyard this afternoon.  Temps were in the mid 70’s here by Lake Michigan – simply a perfect Michigan spring day.

Maybe this year the Wayfarer boat might also get a work out this year

The duck boat!   It’s not duck season but a boy always has fun working on his gear 😉

See the shower back there?  It’s going to be great for those guest who want to get the sand of their legs after coming back from the beach

She’s back!

Now don’t think that I forgot all about you. I haven’t.
But I have been busy doing nothing.
Well, not nothing. I have been brainstorming with myself about what to
tackle first in the cottages as soon as the snow is on its way out of here.
Mike quit his job in order to be here and work on making the cottages beautiful.
We are both very excited about that.

Do I hear a

WELCOME BACK

to me?

Right now, a huge snow storm is on its way across Lake Michigan.
Time to get back to my comfy chair,
put another log on the fire,
enjoy some *Russian (hot) Chocolate* and my kindle – yay

There is nothing better than snow on the ground and more snow falling from the sky.

True? – Opinions please.

See ya  in a couple of days

Recipe for Russian Chocolate:

Hot chocolate,  shot of dark rum, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings – enjoy!

Bicycling along Lake Michigan

A few weeks ago we had guests who were into bicycling.  They had bikes for every circumstance.  Just look at these.

Here Lisa and Matt are on their way to Arcadia, having started from Elberta Beach
That would be a 13 mile bike ride along the Lake Michigan shoreline !

(If you click on each picture twice, a really large picture reveals itself…)

Lisa, taking a break, sitting in the outlet

The “outlet” – Lower Herring Lake into Lake Michigan

And back up north to Wayfarer Lodgings

Tim Allen should be talking about this in one of his Pure Michigan commercials.

Does this not look like fun?
