O’Christmas Tree
It was -21C this morning, which made the air very crispy. Here are a few pics of todays outing.
What Time of Day are You?
| You Are Sunrise |
 You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You’re often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in all, you know how to love life for what it is – not for how it should be. |
North of 51 Outposts Pickle Lake
Our weekend was fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, the drive both ways (about 6 hrs each way) was uneventful.
Hwy 599 the Road to Pickle Lake:
Loading the plane
after a 7 minute flight we landed on a nice calm lake, very smooth landing.
Busy Week
I set a goal for myself and accomplished it! What a great feeling. Two Queen sized quilts left today and 5 wall hangings yesterday. I’ve been working on the bear paw quilt for a couple of weeks, the other queen was a panto job that I didn’t take pictures of and the wall hangings are gifts for the quilters bridesmaids (the wedding is this Saturday she brought me the quilts last Friday) They are quilted using the Star Swirl Panto.
I really enjoyed quilting the bears paw quilt, I wish I’d taken better pics though…
Devon Rd House
This house really intrigues me. I wish I knew its story. Its on the way to one of the lakes we fish at, very close to the US CAN border and no where near town. I wish now that I would have taken a peek inside so next time I probably will. I was going to but then I got this funny idea that maybe some hermit would jump out and yell at me.
Fishing
Well those who know me know that I have another passion in my life and that one includes fishing….with you know who 🙂
The first few pics are of our shore lunch at Fowl Lake on the border of Ontario and MN.
The others are of our catch at Hurion Lake, my Northerns was 30″ and the bass we caught that day was unusually large 🙂
Weekends
Now that I’m back to working full time I sure appreciate the weekend again. Though I always seem to think I’ll get more done than I ever accomplish.
I am almost finished the bears paw I had hoped to finish yesterday. I have about an hour left, I’m doing a free hand version of a pine bough and berries picture my customer brought me and its been slow going but I think its working out. Maybe I’ll get it finished tonight.
No fishing this weekend but we are getting ready to go on a fly in trip next month. I can hardly wait.

I’ll be sharing pictures of course. I’ve never been in a float plane before but I’ve always wanted to. I’m told that the fishing is amazing at these remote northern lakes and I can only imagine the scenery as well.
Here are a few more of our trip pics
