Please Don’t Say That Four Lettered Word!

 
Originally our plan for today was to hop in the car and drive a hour over to the big city of Marathon (population 4000) to shop.

But because of that four lettered word, which I refuse to say, I will now have to get  out of bed at the most ridiculous hour of 7AM so we can hurry to Marathon and back before we get a fresh dump of 15cm’s of ----.
 
Isn’t that just awful?

I heard today that this was the first time that the Great Lakes had all frozen over since 2009.
 
This is a photo taken from our home on Lake Superior last February.
If you look carefully you can see the trees from the Parisian Island that was eight miles across the lake from us.
 
This was all open water, not a Bay, and I can’t remember a year when the lake didn’t freeze across since we had lived there.

We never knew from one year to the other what our lake front would look like!
Sometimes it looked like an ice jam.

At other times it joins forces with the wind to create the most unusual shapes.

One thing for certain, Lake Superior is ever changing and ever full of surprises…
I love the mysterious!
wool over eyes
Oh, about that four lettered word;
I sure pulled the wool over your eyes on that one!
 
Have a great Thursday!

  2. Hi Kimberly,

    Yes, I heard the same thing about The Great Lakes! Your pictures are pretty, though; that cold, white stuff sure can sway me with its crystal allure!

    Hope you got a chance to catch up on your sleep!

  6. Love seeing pictures of the "four letter word". They are beautiful. We are having spring like weather here in Ga.this week. 73 for us today but severe thunderstorms heading our way. Rather have the "S" anyday. I hate storms. Be careful and safe

  10. Hi,
    Love your photos.
    We are planning to visit the Ice Caves on the South Shore of Wisconsin on Monday. :-)

    Do you know if the wolves or moose traveled off of Isle Royal? I wondered if some would like to visit new lands. :-)
    We are to get 15 inches today!! 15 inches of sn--!

  11. LOL! Yes, there are a couple of four lettered words that I don't like! Snow is one of them, but I have to admit it makes for some great photos. Nice shooting!

  14. Love that wool over the eyes!!! Down here our 4 letter words is " HEAT" yesterday 33 Celsius, no breeze, too hot for much at all, so a few hours at a nearby beach was bliss, cooling ocean breeze, waves lapping, fog rolling in, I guess all to soon it will really turn to colder days. Love those lake photos, nature provides so much beauty even in the unusual. Cheers from Jean

    PS I have two little ones, 1 and 2 year old. Life is good!!!

  21. Cute ending love the photo for it lol Wonderful photos . We live a 6 min drive from the north shores of Lake Erie and yes it has been years since the great lakes have been mostly frozen . The day started out nice with some pretty hoarfrost and sunrise then by noon it all turned nasty lighting thunder whilst it snowed then turned into sleet and then rain and still raining . WOW! wacky weather . Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !

  22. Winters are so unique. This one reminds me of 2008. It would be so interesting to see the differences there on Lake Superior.
