Today's post isn't about our farm or about farming at all. Instead, I wanted to share some photos of Lake Huron I took today. We live ten minutes away from a popular beach town that sits along the coast of the lake. I don't generally frequent the place too often in summer because the overall tourist that swarms the town are the younger crowd. It's not really my scene. So I like to enjoy it now before the onslaught of tourist. And today was a beautiful day to walk down the main street, even though 90% of the shops remain closed. They were however starting to buzz with activity, renovations, etc. in preparation for opening next month.
The beach itself was surrounded by storm fences but the beaches otherwise remained empty other than the odd family or couple strolling the sandy beach as we were.

My son displayed his true Canadian blood by venturing into the freezing water barefoot.
Crazy kid, lol! Those are snow drifts out there in the water, albeit, dirty ones.
And, yes, he confirmed that it was very, very, very cold. I was able to squeeze more yardwork in today. Notice the clear yard above and to the left of the wheelbarrow.
And it was a beautiful day to hang clothes on the clothesline. I love clean clothes fresh off the clothesline. Especially bed sheets. Nothing beats falling to sleep with the scent of the outdoors beneath your cheek.
