Another beautiful day.

We went for breakfast at son Bill's this morning. On our walk down to camp Fred took lots of pictures. It's an even nicer day than yesterday was and that made it a pleasure to walk, although the road was very slippery in spots. On our way back there was some melting in spots, but we had to be careful, especially when a car came by. The road has heaved in the middle and tilts sharply towards the ditch, and we like to get well to the side so in case a vehicle begins to slide we are out of the way, but we also have to be careful because the sides of the road don't have as much gravel so the incline is inclined to be icy. (I couldn't resist that - sorry.)

We met Carl and Amy (Noyes) Leguia at the Noyes camp. Carl was cleaning off the roof of the garage. The north side of the garage is near a gully with a little brook, and from the roof down is a long way. The roof is metal, and normally they would use the roof rake, but Carl explained that it was in the garage and the tractor bank is right up against the doors so there's no getting into the garage until spring. So he was using a shovel and Amy was holding the safety rope just in case the snow began to slide off and Carl with it. When we came back by a couple hours later, the roof was clear, so I guess they got it done without incident. I'm not sure we got the spelling of their name correct, we had to depend on memory, and if it's wrong, we apologize. Amy said Carl Leguia rhymes with "Karmann Ghia" - cool mnemonic.

Here are the photos Fred took today - perhaps you can spot some places around the pond you know. Everything is looking pretty under the sun; ice fishermen are out, people are moving about, all enjoying the nice weather while it lasts.
