Spring Break Day Three

We did more rock climbing.

Beach going.

Searching for sea glass.

This particular little beach is a secret treasure trove.

Dug out the big lens to take pictures of Great Lakes ore boats passing by.

Spent (way) more time than expected on a jigsaw puzzle.

Rummied.

We leave the TV off, so there's plenty of time to fill.

Spring Break Day Two

It was a full day of hiking the hills and climbing the rocks of Lake Superior.

It was good to come back in and settle in.

And the weather changes

Monday I enjoyed another beautiful sunrise.

Many thanks to those bleepin' dogs with the internal alarm clocks. Don't they realize this is vacation?!







We geocached our way north to Grand Marais.








While we parental units walked more sedately on the walkway of the breakwater,

Girl of the House jumped rocks along the edge.

(Me? I've grown quite fond of all my never- before-broken bones, thank you very much.)







We were informed there was a big storm coming in on Tuesday.

Sure enough, by the time we made it back to our temporary home the winds had changed, rolling around to the North East.

The wind change started to blow the thin sheet of ice remaining on the lake to our shoreline.



As it hit, it shattered like shards of plate glass

The sound was that of old glass windchimes, clinking and clanging in the breeze.

There is a remarkable resemblance to plate glass, don't you think?



This morning around seven, the snowstorm really began.

There's no ice left on the lake beyond what is far out in the depths.


GotH felt brave.

She headed out with the camera.









We, less brave, took her picture from a warmer environment.



The lake is amazing this morning.

This will be a good day for snuggling in with the fire.
