After school on Friday and all day today we have made the most of the sun, clear blue skies, lake, and awesome back garden we have here at the new house.
 |
| Our back yard leads down to a small lake...for those of you from Black Mountain, I bet it's about four or five times the size of Lake Tomahawk. |
 |
| This small floating dock is ours as well. We're thinking maybe canoe at some point? How fun to paddle out to the middle of the lake and go fishing. (We've seen big fish--we hear they're bass--jump from the deeper parts of the lake.) |
 |
| Water's edge. The day is still chilly, so the boys are in hats and coats. |
 |
| Shaded bench/swing where Mike and I can sit and watch the boys play. |
 |
| At the water's edge, looking back up toward the house. This lot is really very secluded, even though there are neighbors on both sides. |
 |
| Looking west from our shoreline. |
 |
| Merrit and Mike look for minnows. |
 |
| There's a big fallen tree by the dock. Not sure how we feel about this... wonder if the landlords would be willing to have it removed, on the other hand it's sort of pretty and interesting to look at. |
 |
| Can you believe it? We can feed the ducks from the back yard? We went through about half a loaf of bread. (Note to self: Save stale bits and heels for ducks in the future.) |
 |
| As the day warmed up, the boys ditched their coats and played on a bouncy ball, kicked a kickball around, and chased each other in the yard. Mike and I read through the hot tub manual and tried to gather our wits for that project (we're tackling it tomorrow). |
