Sunny skies return just in the nick of time


There's only a few inches of headspace left in the boathouse for the Lickety Split. The lake level is just below flood stage. Fortunately, we have had three days now with sunshine and the lake has stopped rising. Two of those days, unfortunately, also produced thunderstorms in the afternoons. Today, however, was absolutely beautiful with no rain and temperatures in the low 70s F (20-22C).
Ben and I (mostly Ben) mowed all the grass in the camp today. To appreciate this feat you need to remember we just had 17 consecutive days of rain, the grass was trying to take over the camp and the ground is saturated.We modified our lawnmowers so that they were not bogged down by wet grass and went at it with a vengeance. To our surprise, we got the whole place mowed by suppertime.
The yard now looks great and maybe even more importantly, is not a good place for black flies and mosquitoes to take up residence.
