Spring?

April 4, 2008
The weather up here has been to say the least terrible. On Wednesday we had a rain storm, followed by driving snow, and then all the standing water froze. The farm fields look like huge skating rinks. This would be a great time for the NHL to have an outdoor game. At Lucky Strike the back lawn and the parking lot are all ice. We are planning to have junior come this Saturday to assemble the five new propane grills. Then he will start changing the oil on the garden tractor, lawn mower and the snow blower. Each will need new spark plugs as well as the chain saw and the string trimmer. If the time allows I will have him start on the outboards. We hope to open up the cabins by the middle of April. What we need is for the weather to warm up to melt all the snow that we have. A good sign, on April 3 I saw flock of geese heading south. I hope they know what they are doing. I went to town today and saw a hock and two sea gulls. These signs tell me that perhaps we can get the cleaning crews into cabins soon. One more thing I saw a robin on the part of the front lawn that is not frozen.
