So, contrary to all the wonderful things that "Duluthians" ?? have to say about their beautiful little city, there are a few things that an unbiased observer may have to say about this little burg.
The first observation is that mother nature has a problem of letting go.. and as a result, almost every second day we have snow flurries that can accumulate to a couple of inches fairly quickly.
On the bright side, we can always collect sap from the maple trees, build a warm fire to burn down the sap and keep warm at the same time...
The ice on the lake also helps to ease the job of getting the dock into the pond for the coming season. The ice will go away one day soon... won't it???
The fruit of our labour... 1 gallon yield from 40 gallons of tree sap.. the most delicious maple syrup in the upper mid-west.
And just to reconfirm that there is still ice on the lakes.. even mighty Superior was around 65% covered with ice when these photos were taken a week ago...
Oh well.. still cold and calling for snow flurries this afternoon... but several golf courses are open and soon we will be bitch'in about the mosquitoes...
Life is Good....
