news of the day...

Yesterday, the lake looked like a mirror... I am just so happy to have it back and not look out over the "great white tundra"... People are returning to their camps, raking up the winter messes, taking shutters off the windows, and all the usual "spring work". I notice each weekend, it gets a little busier.

I didn't "capture him" very well, but that white line you see across the picture, is a loon taking his morning cruise. He probably enjoys having the lake all to himself, I would say within a month, he will have to share it with boats once again. But for now, it's all his....

Finishing details are happening around the house, and according to Ken, they will be done probably within a week. THEN the project is ours (scary thought!!!) This week they laid the plywood down over the upstairs "false" floor. I have been interested in seeing this done, because I really couldn't figure out how it would all look in the end. They kept assuring me that I wouldn't even notice it was a false floor and I found that hard to believe. Now that I see it, I think they're right, when finished you won't even know that it's been built up. (this is the hallway looking into the two bedrooms)

This is the master... bathroom to the left and the closet (were Ken is working) is to the right... no floor just yet.....

Here the first piece goes down. I couldn't stay long enough to watch it all happen, but when I go today, it will all be done.

And this shot was taken out the bedroom window.. we will have a nice view of the field when we wake in the mornings!!! I will be able to see the horses... we have to take some trees down and do some thinning to see the barn... but everything in good time.

Monday evening there were three more "graduations!!!" Another "six weeks" starts again next week.... told you my life is marked in six week sessions....

this is the "puppy class"












And the first of the Advance classes... (this was Banjo's class)

Here's "my" Banjo baby!!! (notice that he has already creased his hat???)




















And this is the second Advance class ( the gal on the end to the right... is Kathleen with her latest service puppy Harvey)

And now I am off, I need to get a walk in with the dog's, make a "grain run".. do barn chores and start the new Wednesday night obedience classes later this evening..... fun!!!!!
