Home again

Four and a half hours in the car leaves plenty of knitting time.

So I finished the Never Ending Blankie!

Turns out it was warm and rainy at home while we were gone.  The river's come up significantly.  

Our gravel road had some washout damage in two places where the water ran across the road.

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.

North Shore

We made it to the north shore of Lake Superior for a long weekend (spring break continues).

Still lots of snow up here too!

Minnesota Spring Break

It's not often we can ski in Minnesota during spring break.

But we made it today, and it was perfect!

Spring Break!

Girl of the House brought home a Spring Break gift for her parents.

Chocolate covered cherries and truffles.

Gotta say I like the way this spring break is beginning!

Last night of our spring break weekend

There's still some snow left up here.  High temps remain under 40˚.

The mouth of the Temperance river as it enters Lake Superior is still blocked with ice.

We hiked, following the Temperance River upstream.

I've done some knitting in front of the fire.  

Even managed to crochet a steek, readying to make this into a cardigan.

The full moon is tonight, and it was gorgeous rising into the clouds.

Bluefin Bay for spring break 2010

For the second year in a row, we've headed to the north shore of Lake Superior to Bluefin Bay.  Once again, Girl of the House and Ben have different spring breaks.  However, they overlap on the weekend, so Ben and Bekky have joined us for the final weekend of their college break.

It's drizzly and cold (36˚) but we've got a wood fire in the fireplace, good tunes on the stereo and games, books, jigsaw puzzles and knitting to keep us entertained.  

Well, OK, the knitting only entertains me.

I've got a lovely view and a comfy chair in my knitting spot.
