Do You See What I See? A Deer, A Yearling & A Hint of Spring

As I walked up to feed the deer this morning, I noticed two standing just inside the woodline—watching, waiting. A mom and her yearling. Their springtime hunger is real, and they’re quick to respond. This yearling was in the feed pile before I made it 20 feet away. We just…

Saturdays and Steady Progress

Happy Saturday from Jake’s Bed & Bar! So many Turkeys out and running around this morning. I seriously considered hitting the Sturgeon River this morning for some steelhead fishing—after all, the weather yesterday was great, and Saturdays are made for tugging fish and soaking in spring. A fresh catch in…

Why Did the 18 Turkeys Cross the Road?

Because Vern hasn’t fed them yet! (And I really need to get on that!) Actually, it felt like a full-on protest as they single-filed in front of me, forcing a complete stop. It was quite the scene as they marched in protest of the feeder not being full yet. And…

Make It Happen Monday – Learning, Fixing, and Moving Forward

Good Monday morning! Today is another one of those run-around-and-get-stuff-done kind of Mondays. This time of year, we spend a ton of time jumping on updates and renovations.

Rerouted Adventures & Fresh Updates!

Today’s adventure took an unexpected turn! Instead of heading to Jake’s Bed & Bar in Twin Lakes to install carpet in two bedrooms, Mother Nature had other plans—dropping a fresh load of snow over the weekend. Since snowmobile season was supposed to be over, we hadn’t scheduled plowing, so we…

Mother Nature’s Tease & Always Planning Ahead!

Mother Nature is playing games with us again! Last week, we had temps in the 40s—a glimpse of spring on the horizon. Yesterday? Clear blue skies, sunshine… and 10 degrees when I woke up. It never even hit above freezing! Temps are looking better today, but hold on—what’s this? A…
