Loons are here!

Two loons are currently swimming around the beach, due to heavy rain all day, no photos to share

Its official, the ice is off the lake!

Long anticipated ice out!

Almost gone!

The lake is almost completely visible

Another foggy morning

It's lifting off and sun is trying to peek out

Ice is melting on Stocking Lake.

Here is an update on lake ice.

Foggy lake setting

It is eerie looking on stocking lake today as the fog rolls over the ice.

Is this really March 13?

We lost almost all the snow from last week. Now the ice is slowly going

Sioux Falls Sportsman and vacation show

I am volunteering last minute here at the Sioux Falls Sportsman and vacation show at the arena. If you are in area swing on by and say hi!

Snow is here

I cleaned up the driveway finally. It should melt fast this week with temps hitting the 40's

Update from Ellen (mom)

I phoned Ellen at the resort to find out the snow status. She said approx 8" fell on Sunday the 26th of Feb. and no snow fell in Park Rapids the following Wednesday but in surrounding areas, lots of snow fell.
That's the latest scoop to report. I will be back to resort on Monday.

Hmm, my vacation is done....

I had been away for a week to enjoy my long awaited vacation. It was sad to return to a bunch of snow. I guess it is reality.
Now on to resort projects with Spring right around the corner!
I will keep you posted.
