One Week and Counting...

One week from tonight I'll be at our house at Leech Lake.

I am really looking forward to my visit. As usual, there will be a lot of work to do, but I enjoy working around our properties. I'll have to get the boat cleaned up, the equipment in it, and then I'll need to put my boat in the water. I'll have to get the canopy on the boat lift. Run the electricity out to the end of the dock to power the electric motor for the boat lift.

I'll have storm windows to take down and screens to put up. I'll have to remove the insulation from the crawl space vents to air out the house. Then I'll have tons of work to do in the yards at both the house and cabin. I'll have flower beds to prep. Trees to trim. I'll need to clean out the fire pit and get it ready for another season of campfires. Put up the hammock. And on and on.

But no matter how much work there is to do, I don't mind because I'll be doing it on the shores of Leech Lake. For me, there is no better place in the world do to such work.

Oh, and I'll have to get some walleye fishing in as well. My "at-lake" reports will begin next week.
