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.
