The fish weren’t biting, and it was pretty chilly friday night. (there was even some snow) The bonfires were great and the fishing was so relaxing….the scenery spectacular etc… 🙂
Sunday was so much nicer out and the lake was calm, I love the way this pic shows the little creek that joins 2 lakes.
when we came to shore ready to pack up camp there was a wild turkey waiting for us…
and one last pic before we packed up camp.
The days are getting so much shorter and the weather has turned pretty chilly. We went fishing last Sunday and every time we turned around the weather changed from being sunny and warm, rainy and foggy to chilly. Still its just so good to be outside and enjoying being together and the beauty of nature. The Sunset was incredible, usually we are off the lake before the sun goes down so this was an exception.
One more thing about our fishing trips, there have been three different lakes this summer where we have been watched by eagles.
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.
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…
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.
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 🙂
This quilt was pieced by my Aunt Marie (my moms sister) Quilted by me, bound by my mom and given to my Aunt Barb to comfort and encourage her in her battle with Brain Cancer.
I used Michelle and Terri’s Panto Feeling Groovy
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
Go Carts Wpg Manitoba
this little guy was so cute and I esp love this pic
I know its not that hot here compared to many places but after being in an air conditioned office all day and driving home with the ac on this house with no ac is hot!! Soon I’ll head to the basement and hopefully finish the bear paw quilt on my machine.
