Shhh..is that a loon? A couple of fun local events to take in
Thanks to the group of people who took time out of their beautiful weekend last Saturday to build some loon nest platforms. The man made floating nests are complete and will be installed on North and South Center Lakes. Besides being our state bird, loons hold a special place in Minnesotans’ hearts. Just take notice if you are around water and happen to hear a loon call. Look at the expression of those around you, everyone stops to listen and a conversation usually follows. So to encourage nesting and increase our loon population is wonderful news.

Is that rain? No it’s my tears, groups donate a ton(s) of food
Sunday was a deluge of rain and wind in Chisago County. While the wind seemed as if we were in a low level hurricane, one thing that certainly was welcomed in our home was the moisture. As I have stated here many times, the lake levels have become incredibly low with the lack of winter moisture and the end of the summer drought. So, yes my plans to sunbathe took a hit on Sunday but there was extra moisture in the air from tears of joy. (Sorry to put that image in your head.)

Snow everywhere, thanks to all who came out to local events
My wife and I just got back from a week long vacation. I am not going to go on about the vacation because let’s be real, the only people who care about vacations are the ones who took them. It’s like listening to someone go on and on about their golf game. The only thing I will mention is that it was warm, like in the lower 90’s warm. So imagine our dismay when we came back to this...yuck. I am writing this Tuesday afternoon staring out at what I think is my truck under all that snow? Two days - two punches in the face. Before we left it was consistently in the 50’s and 60’s. Now I am not sure we will be able to get out of our driveway tomorrow morning. Good ol’ Minnesota.

Waffles and beer, are there two better things to put in my body?
This weekend has some fun things for all of us to take in locally. Saturday the Chisago Lakes Lions Club would love to invite you and everyone you know to their annual Swedish Waffle Day celebration. The awesome meal consists of Belgian waffles (all you can eat) with all the fixings (or leave it plain like I do) sausage, milk and juice and of course coffee. The meal will be at the Chisago Lake Township Hall March 16 from 8am to 11:30am. We have an ad on page 4 in this edition with all the info.
