Hi Everyone,

Well today we just want to tell you that the weather here in the northwoods has been fantastic the past two weeks. Temps have been in the 50’s, there isn’t any snow, and it feels mighty fine.

But we know snow is just a “cold front” away on any given day. And when it begins to snow here it usually lasts until March and April.

People sometimes ask us, “What do you do in the winter?” Well, we do enjoy ice fishing on our lake. Which reminds me, if you have a gas-powered ice auger you’re just itching to get rid of, let us know. Our auger went out at the end of last year, and we are looking for a replacement.

Judy’s not too big on the whole ice fishing routine, and usually lets me do all the fishing while she reads a book and stays warm. But you can only stay cooped up in your house for so long in Minnesota’s winters before you climb the walls. We call it cabin fever here.

Well that’s it for today. Hope you are having a great week. Check out the pics below for some of our snow pictures from last winter. This gives you an idea of what I’m talking about when we talk snow in Minnesota. God bless, and remember, we love you guys. Pat & Judy

It's kind of hard getting to our fire ring sometimes in the winter.
