Walden Island - Day 19 & 20

Day 19 was really just getting up to the island. Then on Saturday (Day 20) I moved the 'kitchen' area to the other side of the shed so that it was closer to the fireplace. It gets a bit more sun over there now too. The weeds on the other half of the property got cut down (we have a kid that mows for us) so it's a bit more open.

When Jamie and Rick got back from Seattle, all they wanted to do was get in the lake! Franklin has now decided that he loves the water and the wave runner - Moxie still doesn't want to swim. Jamie did make her come out, and she wasn't very happy with him, but it cooled her off.

As I was walking around the property, I noticed a small rose bush under the arbor along a pathway. It's not actually on our property (the owner now lives on land and only her sons come over every so often) but it's just at the corner and I knew she wouldn't mind me clearing out the blackberry vines. She owns the largest amount of property on the island and used to have beautiful rose gardens everywhere - now they are so over grown with the blackberry vines because she doesn't come out. They even take over some of the pathways...so I cleared those out too. At one point I even had to get the chain saw out to cut through some of it!

And here is what Moxie looks like at the end of the day...it's not even dark out yet tho!

Thanks again Rick for bringing your camera!!!
