First Snow of the Season

 

From the North Shore down to the Twin Cities, Minnesotans across the state woke up to a coating of the white stuff Friday morning.

In Duluth, the National Weather Service recorded 1.8 inches of snow by 6 a.m. and set a new daily record when 2 inches was recorded at 1 p.m. 

First snowfall before the first freeze! For context, our average first measurable snowfall is November 4th, and our average first freeze (32°) is October 11th. We have yet to record our first official freeze.

Hot Potato

 

So happy that there was a potato harvest today before the frost kills them.

Bye Bye Mr. Mann

Another stunning sunrise.

Mr. Mann is high and dry after spending a  summer with his feet in the lake. It is always a sad bye-bye. I never like leaving Walleye World. Thanks to Jane and her organizing skills, the many boxes of papers are all now in the shop. Yesterday, Jermy returned to move the Happy Camper back to its winter home. I, all by myself, actually backed the little red Jeep snuggly into a cozy place next to the Happy. Then I unbelievably disconnected the red Jeep's battery. Yay Kay!

 

Wonderful Wednesday

  Another foggy sunrise.

Photo op with our hike leader. Goal: three trips around the lake. Looks like a senior high school yearbook picture.

Pre-dinner paddle show.

Jane caught me pushing the lawnmower to the shop for its winter home.

Pink Cloud Omen

 

Pink clouds = good omen.

Cooker girl = our good luck.

A Pea Makes For Fun Times

Annie took Jane and Lucky Me-Me to the Old Log Theatre for the colorful musical performance of 

Once Upon A Mattress. (Parody of Princess and the Pea.) 

We all thoroughly enjoyed it.
