Memorial Day At Ellenwood...2014

It's Here already Memorial Day, the Weather is supposed to be chilly...64,65 and maybe 67 degrees, with rain for the Holiday event....Not Cool...after coming off of the worst winter in 50 years here in Michigan. We arrived late Thursday night, chilly evening at 11:00pm, but got things together and headed to bed...
Friday Morning we awoke to a gloriuos morning not a cloud in the sky and getting warmer by the minute...Must get up and get moving for provisions on the boat...Ahh No Food but great Coffee.

Three of the best things in life is what I had there with me...1 My wife...2 good weather and 3 18" or more water above last years.

.Here's proof water is over the log by at least 12" last year it s even to the top of the logs edge. This Log is my water depth gauge...it's great. Look at all that water OVER that Log...

And Last Weather .... Look at that sky it's Flawless for sure, it's about 70 degrees and wonderful here at White River Light house.

We stopped our Hike to the end of the Pier for a Few Pics.. having fun along the way is what its all about.....Isn't it?

 We Waited for the Sunset of a lifetime, it comes around every weekend for us...Lake Michigan Sunsets....

We ended up Not leaving the dock this weekend, like others around us we didn't get our tabs and "The Sheriff" was patrolling the marina waiting for boats to take to the water with out the proper tabs.... NO Thanks....wow I am getting wiser, I actually decided it wasn't worth it...
Pictured here, Gracie isn't happy with us, she's not leaving the boat this time for a walk...it shows in her face....We had a great weekend, came home and got some much needed yard work done....

Ambiances Buff and Wax job this winter, Was a great success..She looks great, after We washed her down again..Looking forward to a Great Summer and lot's of fun....

The Second Time around POND...And Everything CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!

The pond is finished, it took a full year from RE-Start to finish, but it's done now and boy it looks nice,
We've built the chicken coupe now, Maryanne has bought a chicken for each of the grand kids, yup Chickens.... we gunna have lots of EGGS and it's going to be great to have fresh Farm Eggs...

Too finish the pod, I had to put the last of the waterfall together, rocks on the top and now we will plant flowers and finish off the landscape.

We had to completely rebuild, from two Grand baby boys, Names withheld, threw rocks into it, ripping the liner, it was 6 years old... time for a new one, so we took it apart stone by stone and then dug it bigger and deeper, these boulder were moved one by one by  our own hands.

And Now!!!! IT's CHICKEN TIME!!!!!! All things CHICKEN!!!!

Take a look and You'll see, the coupe is awesome, no pics of the coupe though...hahahah Maybe later it's raining outside heavily right now, here is Maryanne and the DOGMOTHER Gracie looking at the chicks. Gracie really like to look at them ,problem is... she is always licking her lips...this is pic of first brooder.

I have some pics of the Grand kids at the Chicken store, but lost a whole Session due to I didn't put the card back in the Camera....

I lost pics of JJ and Criffer.....Not too happy about that....I'll get them the next time they are over to the Farm...House hahahaha Why doesn't the camera have a small amount of memory inside it...anyway??
