Opening Day at the Cabin

Summer is here - time for long and short lazy (!) weekends at the cabin. And by lazy I mean mowing, trimming, painting, digging, carrying rocks and crawling in the mud under the cabin to fix plumbing. The difference between the cabin and home is that we drink a beer between these activities, and sometimes during.

The cabin held up well this winter. The toilet is still a manual flush and it's disgusting. Apparently the leak in the dam has been fixed but the summer has been dry so far, so it will be  awhile before we see if the yahoos really fixed it this time.

Wildlife abounds. The eagle is back, and we caught multiple frogs and tadpoles. And apparently the robins were getting busy this spring too (see photo at right - found their nest on top of my ladder - now I can't use my ladder)!  I saw their young, identifiable by their spotted breasts with a hint of orange. Lots of Goldfinches. It's just bird heaven up there.

Headed there again soon. Can't wait.
