Calm and clear. A good night and a full moon and now a beautiful morning. The birds are here and I'm lovin it!
Yesterday's meeting was not what I expected....the place was packed, I would say 50-75 Lake Sylvia owners showed up, and I think all but about 2 of us or maybe 3 like the "No wake Rule". Well, they really don't like it, but also don't want the lake to deteriorate....and either do I. The county DNR imposed the rule, and it is also now on all the lakes in Stearns county as well. Most of the people were old timers on the lake...but a few were waterskiers and tubers who supported the Lake Association and wanted them to do something to help move this excess water out of the lake and through the watershed into the crow river. This means cutting a wide swath of cat tails out of a marsh just past Lake Francis, and right now the DNR doesn't want to do that....so we need to find a way to do it ourselves. Anyway no wake rule is in effect till Oct. 1 or until the lake is no more than 6 inches above the normal high water mark....and we're no where near it right now. About 18 inches to go and at the rate of 1 inch per week (with no rain)it ain't going to happen.
I then went to the farmers market and got my good sour dough bread and to the grocery store to buy carrots as no one had any at the farmers market. I thought I would make chicken and dumplings for dinner....but when dinner time came I realized I was out of Bisquick....so settled for fish and left over Ricaroni from the night before. The fish were great (thanks Phil).
This morning I'm off to church and then back to the store to get my Bisquick so I can have my dumplings this evening. Other than that I don't have much planned for the day. Going to start scrap-booking last years addition and read a few magazines. Yesterday afternoon I read the Annandale paper and 3 additions of the Coon Rapids Herald...so I'm caught up on that. While I was out on the deck reading, a hummingbird came over and tried to get nectar out of the dark red part of my shirt. Never had one come that close before. It was really neat!
Nothing else happening here. Got to get dressed and off to church. Love and prayers, m
