At 9:00 a.m. this morning the temperature was already 56 degrees and I could just tell it was going to be a warm day at Leech Lake. The sky was mostly sunny, with just a few billowy clouds, and the wind was 5-10 mph out of the ESE.
Kathleen spent most of the morning dealing with some work issues online, and then making some calls related to her mom's care. I had a work call myself, so both of us were busy until just after noon.
I decided to do some fishing, even the wind was from the east making "the fishing the least," and Kathleen decided to take an early afternoon run.
I fished using Northland eyeball jigs tipped with shiners, but could only catch 3 smallish perch. I saw a couple of other boats on the water, but never once saw any of them boat a fish. Fishing was slow.
I came ashore around 2:00 p.m. and decided to fire up the ATV and take a little ride. I need a new battery for the ATV so I had to use the pull cord to start it up. On my ride I came across Kathleen just north of Harbor Rd. It was a hot, humid afternoon, with temps in the mid-70s, and she was sweating and dragging just a bit. She's used to running in the late afternoon or early evening when the air is cooler.
When we both arrived at home we did some yard work at the cabin. Kathleen raked out the flower beds, while I used a wire brush to clean off our "love seat swing," which I'll water proof or stain once I get into town to buy the right product.
We had a quiet evening after dinner, just sitting around listening to music, talking and playing dominoes. Later we watched a Woody Allen movie, then called it a night. We had another fun-filled day at Leech Lake.
