Ducks and geese better scurry

We were taking a tour of the lake in the Hendees' boat on Saturday. There were many many ducks and geese on the lake and the shore, and most of them took off when we went by. It's a nice little lake. Convoluted shoreline, spring-fed, no wake, and when we were there, the water was very clear.

Before we went out on the boat, Russ cast a fishing line off the pier. One cast, one fish! There were no barbs on the hook, and the fish went right back into the lake.

After the boat ride, we had home-made BLTs for lunch. They were SO good. I may have to learn to make them at home. Later in the afternoon, we went by an elk and buffalo ranch, and I got some great pictures. Then we wandered the shops in Princeton and had dinner in Wautoma.
We got back to the cabin just in time for sunset. That's the bench at the end of their dock. After I took the picture, we went back out on the boat and had some wine while the sun went down. I wished I had the camera to capture the moon in the water, and when it was full dark, the stars out there were magnificent.

Sunday morning we spent some time talking politics before we left for home. It was a great weekend.
