We had a lovely Sunday Adventure. It was surprisingly peaceful out. We really didn't see many people at all. The scenery was just beautiful too. We stopped at one place that we stopped at last week and it was interesting to see how things had changed in just a week, the ice moving and open water bits changing. It's just a reminder of how unstable the ice can be and how we should be a little bit more wary of it. We had such a lovely time we decided to have an extra adventure up the lakeshore Friday into Saturday this week and treat ourselves to a night away! We're looking forward to exploring some different places!
Today it's all back to the everyday again. My friend and I went for a walk somewhere different today. The weather has been good enough that the roads (main ones) are all clear now and I feel confident driving. We went to a local fish hatchery where they raise fish to be released in the wild. There are several ponds to walk around a couple of them have open water all year. It was wonderful to see some ducks! They all seem to flock to the open water as there isn't a lot of it around. There were lots of swans too. The main trails are kept clear as it is a working hatchery and vehicles have to be able to move around it. We kept mostly to those trails. I think it was a good walk!
After my walk, I stopped at a couple of places, came home and did some housey stuff. It's surprising how quickly the days pass as I didn't seem to have much time before the guys were home again.
Things are supposed to warm up a little bit this week. Our temperatures, a couple of days, are going to be above freezing. Hopefully some of this snow will start to melt. I'll be sad to see it go from the lakeshore, but I am pleased that it will be easier to get around. I imagine, though, that the walking trails are going to get a lot worse before getting better!

How lovely to have a fish hatchery. So many people do such good work for wildlife. Your overnight stay is something to look forward to. 😀
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting place. They teach young children to fish too. They have different programmes and such. It's a really good place to bird watch too! I am looking forward to the night away
DeleteI hope the weather improves for you. It's good to be reminded of the ice. I think anything involving water should be treated with respect as I feel it's tricksy stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is amazing. I can almost feel the cold from it.
Thanks so much.
DeleteI definitely think people underestimate water, especially the Great Lakes. People think oh it's a lake and they underestimate how large it is and how dangerous it can be!
We're having that melt freeze thing going on and my yard is back to being annoying for the dogs. It was hard to walk yesterday as the sidewalks hadn't been cleared so the meeting just caused iciness.
ReplyDeleteThat started for us today! I hate it. Things get really mushy and wet and then freeze. Our driveway is a mess. Hopefully, the temps will continue to rise and it will disappear soon!
DeleteLovely photo! I'm glad you had a good day out and hope you have a lovely night out at the end of the week. Something to look forward to. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Definitely a spur of the moment thing, but it should be fun
DeleteNice photos! Nice to treat yourself to a little night away.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We had a good time the other week, except for the horrible blizzard like conditions when we were in that area. We decided to go back and see it in better winter weather.
