Took this picture yesterday morning shortly after 7:00. The moon was just awesome, and coming in the yard in a big way. Wish we had taken a picture the night before, because we had a nice sunset. It would of been cool to put the two together. We didn't get the colors in the sky that the sunset brings, but waking up to the "moonset" was something special.
The eagles have been around, the pine grosbeaks are active, red squirrels are chasing each other and there's been signs of foxes going through the yard regularly. Sure seems like signs of an early spring are already showing up.
We still have about a foot of snow on the ground. Somehow this is holding up well to the snowmobile traffic, and those that are here are experiencing nice trails. Thursday night a small clipper system is expected to drop down and stimulate some lake effect snows, but that's about the extent of the snow forecasted for the next several days. Lets hope the wind swings out of the NW so the lake effect machine gets cranked up. We could use more snow. My concern at this point is the lack of run off in the spring to help fill up all the marshes, rivers and ponds. On the upside, sure has been easy on the snow removal efforts - leaves more time for icefishing, which is where I'm headed right now.
Don't forget, you might know someone who knows the next owner of this great place. Share this link with friends and family who like the woods, fishing, hunting, sledding, skiing, agate hunting, blue berry picking, birdwatching, boating, hiking (you get the idea) and might like a to get into a nice life-style business opportunity.
Don't forget to check availabilities and make your plans to come on up - summer is booking fast. And, thanks to the 10 new folks who like Deer Park Lodge on facebook! Nice to break 100.
Cheers,
Mike & Monica
