Fishing with John

One of our 30th Anniversary celebration activities is a night fishing with John. Names can be submitted for a raffle drawing at our weekly picnic. As John says: “I am not a guide, we will just go out for a fun night of fishing.” Depending on interest he will either go out on White Birch Lake or take his canoe to a carry in lake.

Last night John and Curtis went to a carry in lake and had great success catching walleyes. guess what’s for dinner tonight? 🙂

A successful night fishing.

Charlie Update

It’s been a very busy start to the season this year, so I haven’t posted the Charlie pictures. This year’s Charlie is a little smaller, so there have been some fun new hiding spots chosen.

Congrats to Abigail, Joshua, Sarah and Hannah for finding Charlie on May 30th.

This was Sam and Abby’s first time at WBV. They had fun finding. The battle for the best hiders went back and forth between them and Niko, Lexi, Liam and Landon the week of June 2-10.

Niko, Lexi, Liam and Landon’s turn at finding Charlie.

Rachel and Kyle are also first time vactioneers who had fun looking for Charlie. They found him on June 11th.

Cousins Emily and Hannah taking thier turn on June 12th.

More cousins Anneke and Maddie took their turn on June 12th.

Kaylee and her brother Derek took turns hiding Charlie the week of June 16th as they were the only two looking for Charlie.

Derek was the last to find Charlie on June 21st.

Frost! Really?

June 12th and we had to cover all the flowers for frost. (2 1/2 hours to cover them all!) But this rabbit is tucked in for the night and staying warm.

WINDY!

It’s been a windy day here today. Power has gone out once. How many more times before the night is over, that is the question.

Surf’s up!

 

We don’t see white caps on White Birch Lake very often, but today they have rolling along all day.

Raft makes its way to the water

Getting ready for Memorial Day Weekend means getting the raft into the water. Here’s the pictures from winter home to summer home. It takes an hour to move the raft as our tractor moves slowly.

 

Winter home in Bobcat. We slip the pontoon trailer underneath to bring it over to the lake.

 

Creeping along.

 

It’s a tight squeeze near the horseshoe area

 

Crossing County K. We position people at our entrance and the curve before the creek road to stop traffic as we cross the road.

 

Pushing the raft down the creek road.

 

Final stretch to the boat landing.

 

We slip a boat underneath the raft and Andy sits and holds it in place as John motors the raft around the point.

 

Cruising to the final destination.

 

Does it really take two people to find the buoy and clip to hook the raft up?

 

In place and ready for use.

Crappies are biting

John and our two sons, Brian and Chris, went crappie fishing last night. They each got their limit and we know have 75 more fish to eat. Yum! John’s fishing report: Crappies are spawned out and the Bluegills are now on the beds.

Sure am glad I don’t have to clean all those fish. I just get to eat them.

Hummingbirds Arrive!

This has been an unusual spring. Early ice out, warm temps and the hummingbirds arrive two weeks ahead of schedule. I had to scramble to get food made and feeders hung.

Happy for food. They were buzzing my office window this morning letting me know they wanted their food. It always amazes me that they remember where the food hangs.

 

 

The female waiting for the male to finish eating as he won’t share at the feeder.

 

I think we have momma making a nest in the pine tree where the feeder hangs. I tried getting a good look, put can’t quite tell. I will keep my eye out and hopefully can get a good photo. I’ll keep you posted.
