I had 8 big birch trees cut down in my backyard a few days ago and have been working on splitting the wood for future firewood. After days of doing that, I really needed to take a break and get out of the house. Mark called and asked if I'd like to go up to Gold Cord Lake so he could test out how his car would handle on the steep winding road. I jumped at the chance. I figured this pile could take care of itself for a couple of hours!
We hiked up the mile long trail to the lake and it was lovely as usual. We both needed a little exercise, especially me. I needed non-wood-splitting exercise. Bella had a wonderful time chasing ground squirrels and getting all muddy. There is still quite a bit of ice and snow on the lake, but it was open enough that a few young folks were jumping in then immediately jumping right back out again. One young boy was paddling around on a paddle board. Mark and I were happy just to sit there and observe those activities. I do want to drag my kayak up there again this summer once the lake is totally thawed out. Wildflowers are blooming everywhere, and the creeks are high. It was pretty cloudy, but we got back down before it started to rain a little.
