Spring has Arrived at Lake Minnewaska

We are in shorts and tee-shirts now.  Just like that, temperatures in the high 70s.

Two deer were in the back yard this morning.  We saw four deer last evening.  No fawns spotted yet.


We are now spotting some baby geese.  However, this pair is still on the nest and we are watching them on our morning walk.



Lake Minnewaska was very calm this morning.  These ducks made ripples as they swam away from shore.






In the lowlands, the Redwing blackbirds make music for us as we walk.























There are always fishermen on the Lake



These Minnesota kids are really tough.  We watched two youngsters water skiing today.  The water temperature is 58 degrees.




Yes, the leaves are now developed.



Today, the Lilac bushes at our entrance broke free from the grip of winter.
 


Yes, we are celebrating the arrival of Spring.

Return to Lake Minnewaska

It was the cry of the loon that brought us down to the lake last evening.  It was the sunset that kept us there.  Enjoy.
