Spring has almost arrived in the Northwoods. I don't think so! Friday night we still had over 2 feet of snow in the driveway. So once again we had to walk through snow to get into the house. Nothing really major went wrong. Well the circuit breaker for the clothes washer decided to fail. We had to run to Rhinelander for other things anyway.

On the trip up I found out that Susan is becoming a Hodag expert. She has been doing research and we might have a Hodag section opening up at the Library. Enjoy the youTube video below.

We did not spend all our time tracking down hodags. We did prime the ceiling and walls  "The Great Room". And I did paint the ceiling.


If you look closely you see 2 paint swatches on the wall to the left of the Windows. We both agreed that the lower color was it. Later on that was veteod after we saw the colors after sun down.Doesn't the ceiling look nice?

I was able to walk around the property. I discovered that we a small river running through the Boat House. There was 1/2 inch of water flowing right through the Boat House Below are photos from next to the house to give you an idea how deep the snow is (was).



As you can see there is a lot of standing water next to the house. I always refer to April in the Northwoods as "The Muddy Season". Once all the snow melts. All you have is mud.

We did go out to dinner Saturday night to one of my Favorite Places, Minoqua Brewing Co. They have a new item on the menu, Mesquite grilled pork chops. They are great.



Hopefully all this snow will be gone soon. It's April!!! Bring on the mud!
