Chance and I visited Spirit Lake while we were waiting for Far Guy to get done at the Dentist. As you can tell it was another sunshiny warm day..awe come on use your imagination.
Spirit Lake is right in town, so Chance stayed on the leash. The lake is only open around the edges. It is mostly frozen. It is going to be a late “ice out” this year. Maybe it will be gone for the big fishing opener weekend in May…and maybe not.
No one is swimming at the sugar sand beach. Not even any ducks.
No one is on the public pier..it was way too windy and cold. Here you can see how the ice turns dark during the melting process.
Far Guy and I like the same Dental Hygienist, so we always schedule back to back appointments. There was very little sunshine that day so Chance went along. Far Guy walked him down to the bakery and bought some Flat Bread. Chance loves the smells inside the bakery. The bakery in Menahga is probably the best little bakery in all of Minnesota!
Our checkups went well and no one has any cavities!
The Antique Shop is not open during the winter, I drove into the parking lot and made sure they were closed..they were. Chance and I drove around aimlessly looking for Spring..it has not come to Menahga yet.
Oh, my goodness! Is spring every gonna reach you??
ReplyDeleteGood news about the check ups even if it was cold and snowy and freezing.
Think positive, Far Side. It has to show up soon!
ReplyDeleteI ache for spring with you. Five or six kinds of weather in one day and none of it sun. Wonderful that you have the best bakery. That is a prize to relish.
ReplyDeleteWill it ever be spring there for you ? I hope so ! Today it was sunny and 70 with cool winds a perfect day !
ReplyDeleteLove your photos ! Have a wonderful Easter, not to many easter treats or next time the dentist will see a cavity hahaha !
looks way to cold to be swimming, our Goldie swims all year long, even when it is real cold, she loves the water, hugs Barbara
ReplyDeleteJust plain depressing ain't it!
ReplyDeleteOh my - that looks so cold and wintry still! Sounds like us some years... Here's hoping spring comes - and FAST!
ReplyDeleteA true antiquer stands at the window with their nose on the glass and wishes they were not opened 24 hours a day and every single day of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe flat bread sounded good.
Wonders why they are not opened ...........sorry.
ReplyDeleteBut the best news - - - even with the cold and some ice still on the water - - - it is not snowing! Does the ice get dark because as it gets thinner, it shows some of the water underneath?
ReplyDeleteGood deal on the checkups! That's one to put in the thankful files for this year!
Connie have ya'll done something and pissed off spring. It has to come soon. I mean ya'll have had enough of the white stuff. I know Chance is wanting to go swimming. Have a nice day and I'm sending you some warmer temps. Let me know if/when they arrive. LOL
ReplyDeleteI was so excited this year that Easter was going to be late, one day short of the latest day it could be, I was looking forward to a nice warm sunny Easter, or at least warm. Arrgh March Easters are warmer and sunnier! I'm sorry you folks are cold and dreary as well. This Misery does not appreciate company!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed you have a label "Minnesota weather sucks". Are we a mite frustrated? The wind has picked up and it has an unbelievably icy feeling. Maybe we will actually get that snow tonight that I've been scoffing at.
