Medicine Lake...May 10th evening...
How about this?
Yep...open water just in time for fishing...May 11th!
We don't have guests this early in our season, but they could have fished! The temps today were in the 30s and 40s all day...cold and windy, but what a difference a day makes! Last night I was out walking the shoreline taking pictures of the ice blowing into shore...the noise was unbelievable...then between the ice crunching I could hear the loons who had just arrived on the lake!
We are finishing up all the spring work and preparing for our first guests next weekend! We've had electricians, plumbers, carpenters, deliveries, garbage pickup, cabin cleaners...the resort has been a busy place!
Today I worked all day in the lodge, unpacking new sweatshirts, jackets, t-shirts, mugs...all those new things ordered when it was still winter! We've been at this wonderful job for 25 years and every spring arrives so fast that we worry we won't get everything done...and we always do! Here's a sampling of the lodge and new purchases...for those anxious guests who might need to "reserve" their sweatshirt before they arrive for their vacation! Just let me know and I'll hold it for you! Or I will send it out if you would like it sooner!
Hot pink ribbed jacket with flannel lining...
Apple green pile vest..

That's a sampling of some of the new gift items in the lodge this summer!
The spring work is almost finished...
and the candy counter is stocked and just waiting for all those special "little" guests!
We look forward to a wonderful summer and can't wait for warm weather, the pool, beach, french fries, milkshakes and all our grandchildren to come visit!
