Beach day! Our first real beach day of the season. On our first day up here on the shores of Gitche Gumee it was warm enough to sit out on the beach, but since then it has been too cold. Not today. After days of cleaning and organizing the cabin’s kitchen, the three sisters have moved outside. They are now tackling the shed. I have taken advantage of their industry to sneak away. If summoned, this will be a short post. If not noticed, it will be longer. You be the judge of my work avoidance efforts. Tomorrow, the wood guy comes and the plumber and the exterminator. Once this circus has commenced then Jane will feel free to leave and go back south and to her job-job. Last year, we ran the woodpile down to dangerously low levels, but it looks like we will get by, by the skin of our teeth.
