Island 2014: First Trip - Morning Walk

Friday, June 20, 2014

I took a lovely walk on this cool and cloudy morning. Because the Island is so far behind Minneapolis weather-wise, the lilacs are still blooming. The ones back home disappeared a few weeks ago. They didn't last very long due to it going from cool to warm so quickly. It's nice to be able to enjoy them again.

Island 2014: First Trip - The Drive Up and Arrival

Friday, June 20, 2014

Dale got a rental car in Duluth and drove back to Minneapolis yesterday to spend the night. We dropped Athena off at the kennel this morning and then went to pick up a rental car for me. I followed Dale back to Duluth to return his rental car which he then traded for a van to use for work. Made it to Bayfield in time to catch the second to last ferry to the Island (7:30 p.m.).

Home Alone

Did dishes tonight for the first time since before Dale left. Won't be going up for a couple of weeks.

Madeline Island 2014

Dale left for the Island this past Thursday. Can't believe it's that time of year again.

Reconnaissance 2014

Dale's on the Island this weekend for his yearly pre-season reconnaissance. He texted me this photo of ice on the lake from his ferry ride over. I don't believe there has still been ice on the lake in May in a good number of years.
