Playhouse??

Thinking about fixing up this little cabin at the edge of Buck Creek to make a playhouse for the grandkids.  Dad cut down a couple trees and some brush to make it easier to access.  We'll see...

Destination: Cooney Lookout

Dad has  been walking to Cooney Lookout pretty often, but I went along for the first time today.  He wanted to show me these wolf tracks.  He thinks there were 8 or 9 wolves.  The largest track was 6 inches wide and 7 inches long.


 On our way...just gorgeous.
 Stopping by woods on a snowy afternoon...with apologies to Robert Frost.
Our destination...felt like we were on top of the world.
This is a panorama view from the Lookout.

Snowy Holland Lake



Cooney Lookout

Views from this morning...


 We went cross-country skiing for the first time ever this morning.  Didn't get pictures, but it was an absolutely beautiful day and lots of fun.  We both fell, but agreed we loved it.

Lindbergh Lake

Lindbergh Lake is one of our favorite places to canoe in the summer.  And now has become a favorite destination on snowshoes in winter.


On the lake...
Ready for a picnic!

Rainy in winter

We love to visit Rainy Lake in the summer...canoeing, fishing, picnicking.  So peaceful.  So we thought we would see what it's like in winter.  So different, but yet so neat.
