We discovered that we have rhubarb and raspberry bushes. Mom made THE BEST rhubarb crumble ever.
Our cedar trees that we had cut down were planed and stacked when we arrived. George is thrilled to have all of that beautiful wood. We can't decide what to build with it...we are thinking a tree house might be good. It will take about a year to dry out.
The canoe is now on the beach. George and Dad took it out Sat. afternoon. Water is so shallow that they said water was warm.
Hammock is up.
Mother's Day morning. We sat in the sun and drank coffee. Dad gave us our first lesson in fishing with our new rods. We practiced casting off the deck.

George and Dad put in the outdoor shower (with hot water!). It's awesome we all tried it out (except for Mom). We'll put up a curtain of some sort next weekend. We put in the stone pathway and filled in with cedar chips.
I power washed the bunkhouse deck. It took me almost 4 hours! It's pretty clean and looking good. We put some chairs out there and it has a wonderful view of the water.
We had a pretty good fish fry on Friday on the island and I ate fresh lawyers for the first time.
Lawyers, believe it or not, are a kind of fish. :) The owner of the place caught 400lbs. that day and since it's a fish that can't be frozen, I was served a HUGE plate of them, fried. Dynamite.
We'll be back up there this weekend, can't wait. Still 3 weeks away from referral, we're so grateful for this house as a distraction...
