Cabin

It is Boat Day 2022! Got the pontoon from LaCanne’s, went under I-35, up the Cannon River, through Wells Lake, and then home to Cannon Lake. Cold morning.

We debated for a long time if we were going to setup Christmas at the Cabin this year given the big project and related mess. We decided that Christmas must go on and put up the tree! We all love the cabin themed ornaments.🎄

Felt fox in a canoe and raccoon in a canoe ornaments hang on a lit Christmas tree alongside a gingerbread Christmas 2019 ornament. Cabin-themed Christmas ornaments on a tree including stacked smores, a toasted marshmallow character, a felt campfire, and a felted bunny swinging. Christmas tree ornaments including a plush bunny, a black bear figurine, a University of Minnesota bell, and a silver ball ornament.

Our garden at the cabin has gone a bit wild on us. We haven’t been around enough to keep it well managed. The tomato plants are seemingly everywhere. I had no idea what broccoli does when you let it seed out. There was some giant stuff. We did get one of the beds cleared of everything except strawberries and the runners are going crazy. We are hoping for a big bounty of strawberries next year. We also got the blueberries with room to grow. The squash and tomatoes we are letting run free for now.
