Walden Island Day 41

We got up early on Sunday to head up to the lake. We had to bring our new John Deer tractor over to the island. Just imagine a much smaller version of bringing over The Monster. We bought the tractor last month - it needed some welding and we knew just the man to do it. Thanks Duane!!!

It was already nice out when we arrived around that morning.

St. Helens still full of snow

our new tractor - love it!

We had some things to move around at the property as well as get the compost toilet ready. Something exploded in the fridge - I guess we can't leave cans/bottles in there when the power is off and it freezes for a while - so I had to clean that up too. Jamie and I put together the small trailer that attaches to the tractor - it's going to save our backs hauling stuff up the hill! Jamie showed me how to work the tractor, so I mowed the yard. I'm really wanting a riding mower for the house and rental house now - it was great! Jamie put together our new mosquito catcher/machine. We're hoping to get back up there and see all of the female mosquitoes in the machine - not flying around the shed.

Can't wait to get back up to the lake this summer!
