THE YEAR 2020 BEGINS
 
PLEASE NOTE THAT 2020 HAS BEEN A VERY BORING YEAR HENCE, HERE ARE SOME BORING PHOTOS TAKEN DURING THE YEAR

Jan 1 2020 begins with little to no snow on the ground as you can see in the two photos below there is also no ice in the lake.

        




        

Jan 9th and 11th shows ice formation on our neighbors tree and rough shrubbery beside Kathy. This happens when we have a North Blow with freezing temperature that produces waves that create spray in the air that lands on shore  and freezes on the shore vegetation.

        

Jan 17 Kathy poses again with yet more ice forming and to her right on Jan 20 show a north view with more ice formation.

       

                Kathy poses in our ice field Jan 25 and a closeup view of our wooden staircase encased in ice.

               



           Jan 25th  Brian stands by our cement staircase.                                              On Feb 13th our Amaryllis is beginning to bloom.

      

           

    Feb 3rd shows our borrowed trailer full of large aggregate from Inland Aggregate, a close by Quarry near Arkona.  Feb 24th Our Amaryllis  shows itself in full bloom.

       

           
April 26 Kathy has  made her own sign to thank the Front Line Workers during the  Covid 19 Pandemic. In May we visited the Mandaumin Woods Nature Reserve. After our walk through the woods we found our car with a dead battery, and since it was on Good Friday fortunately CAA came to our rescue. But, unfortunately because of Covid we could not get ride with the driver so here we were stranded in the woods, far from home. Thank God with our cellphone we were able to get a taxi driver to come to our rescue. An expensive taxi ride followed by a big tip.  :-)


                                                                 



     


June 6th was a good day for a bike ride under the bridge. Upon returning we found some nice pansies on our back patio table. We later found out they were a gift from our good friends John & Betty.

 
   

June provided us with a few beautiful sunsets and July was a good time to relax on Aleta's Perch
