Valentine's Day in the Keweenaw

In case you're looking for a Cocoa update, here's further proof that she's totally back to normal.

That photo shows the tracks she makes as she travels around the backyard. The snow is compacted and crusty under the top layer, so she's able to walk on top of it when she makes her rounds.

It's Valentine's Day, and my Sweetie took me to dinner at our favorite restaurant, The Hut! We had a wonderful walleye dinner with wild rice and a salad. Everything was delicious. The Hut doesn't normally take reservations, but they make an exception on Valentine's Day. Those without reservations had to wait for a table, be we breezed right through the crowd and were seated immediately.

On the way home, we snapped a few shots - should have done that when there was some daylight left on the way to the restaurant. Oops! Here's the stop sign at the end of our street.

I stood out in the road for the next shot of our driveway.

Remember, our red pickup is an HD 4-wheel drive, so it sits high. It's still dwarfed by the snow on the right side of it. The next shot shows Sweetie opening the front door.

We had a pleasant day, and more snow is on the way.

All is well in the Keweenaw!

P.S. The plant is from dear friends who surprised us with it when we were downstate last week. Our goal is to keep the bush alive until we can plant it on our property. We'll do our best! Thanks again, Marty and Donna.
