I spent most of today outside blowing leaves at either our house or cabin. When you live in the Northwoods of Minnesota, clearing the leaves from your yard is a necessary and time consuming chore. But when you can do it while looking at the beauty of Leech Lake, the chore becomes more like a joy.

The temperature today was in the high 40s for most of the day, although it peaked at 50 degrees. The wind was out of the SSW at 10-12 mph.

Later this evening Kathleen and I had home-made Friday-night pizza, then enjoyed some music and fire in the fireplace.

No fishing today.
