He did it

Yesterday was a beautiful day here in TI. It was my first time going boating and I enjoyed every second of it. It was not crowded, only couple of others out there enjoying the day on the water.

There was actually a purpose for me to go with my hubby and that was to see if the stories from his fishing adventures are true or not. And you know what? He actually caught one!! I got so surprised so I almost lost it and lucky enough not falling into the water. A pike. Not the biggest one, but hubby happy to show that his stories are true.

Other than that, I just enjoyed the scenery, the quietness, the beauty, Thousand Islands has to offer. Knowing this is just the beginning made me ecstatic!

THERE IT IS!!!

Happy hubby

I guess these are cormorants that nobody likes

Crazy times

It was a different feeling when we opened up our cabin this year. As I was so happy opening the door  I felt a sadness at the same time. Thinking of how everything have changed. Compared to last year. We are lucky though that none of us has been catching the virus. But even so, I have stayed in the cabin, together with my 16-year old daughter, and tried to avoid crowds.

The beauty up here, on Wellesley Island, makes it a bit easier to be quarantined. I have also been able to catch up with some yard work, mulching, weeding etc. and getting the place look nice for the season.

During weekdays I'm working and attending video conferences. Having the best view while sitting in the kitchen watching the Lake of the Isle. Best view compared to my colleagues. .

When we arrived here late March, there was still ice on the Lake of the Isle. That is long gone. The boat is in and my husband, and those who remembers, The Fisherman, has of course gone out couple of times. Any luck? Well, you know how-close-it-was and how-big-the-fish-was but no evidence? I've asked why he doesn't take pictures so I can see, but that has been too difficult while he's been fighting getting that HUGE fish up. You know how the story goes.

I wanted to jump in when we arrived




I know, the Tiki bar needs some TLC. Just ordered a new roof.

I have stayed warm and cozy in the evenings
