Late lunch out

We aren't venturing too far from home. One Canadians was going to #NoKings day protests to support our American friends. It didn't go well. Page 1 of CBP docs K Larson 18OCT2025. I've kept a list of people detained. They wouldn't let him return to Canada unless he gave them a DNA swab.

First stop Wednesday was the hair salon. Joe Brian got a lot of attention sitting waiting for me! We were offered water, tea, or hot chocolate. I usually do the 45-minute drive myself, but we had a goal.

Generations on the Lake: we were there in 2013! It has had a 10-year renovation. 


The building is 100 years old that has been lovingly restored. We offer a beautiful conference room for meetings. In addition, we have boat docking for our guests. This is a great place to have family reunions and group meeting as well corporate team building. We provide a natural setting on 7 miles of beautiful lake.  Generations on the Lake Restaurant
There are two woodstoves keeping us warm in the cold. 

It was busy when we arrived, but things quieted down. Joe Brian removed his hearing aids as the noises are amplified equally, whether it is me talking or the people at the far end. 

We had enough for leftovers for dinner the next night. I had chicken parmesan, yummy. Joe had chicken and waffle, with veggies. I took the leftover wine home!



Picture this in summer!

Saturday's Critters

We've lost a lot of snow. Again! I went with a new header. Who knew there were deer out there?!

I zoomed in... two pairs, Momma and fawns.






This is the last of the snowfall, I hope. With that, likely it'll be the last of our deer visitors. They disperse into the forest.  

 Who goes there in the dark?

   

 Coyotes in the dark 
   

 Fred has arisen from slumber! 
 

It is brutal out there! It was -10 ℃ this morning.

Trip to town

 Sunset, we discussed plans for the next day. A road trip!



Wednesday we went to town. We found a couple of developments we did not know were there in Carleton Place!




New development:




The Mississippi River. 
The geese and swans are returning.  Soon people will be sitting on that dock with the red chairs.





Spring clean up. There are lots of dead elms around. Farmers are getting rid of the branches.

2 fishers, geese

 Two fishers came by, or was it the same one?! 



The frog pond is frozen.




The wetland is beginning to thaw on the edges. 


Up above, more signs of spring. The geese are returning in great overhead flights. Also a sun dog in the frame! It is glorious!
