I do think we have turned the tide on winter. Today was a beautiful spring day, just too nice to stay in doors, and too new to work in the yard! Time for an outing! And time to think about working on the boat and getting it ready to launch. Tarp coming off, and the clean-up begins soon. The marina was humming with people getting their own boats ready for the season, and there were a few in the water already. After our quick check of the boat, off to the park to give Kaycee some exercise while we enjoyed the sun and a beautiful nature walk. She has just started liking playing in the pond at home, and the rivers nearby. But Saginaw Bay was a bit intimidating. The noise and waves caused a bit of skittishness, and lots of chuckles. She'll warm up in time. After all, she's a water dog! There were even campers at the State Park campground already! That got us thinking about getting our camper ready...maybe we'll stay ...
