The Breakwall is being constructed!

Hi, everyone!  The weather UP here has just been gorgeous!  A couple of days ago the construction of our breakwall was started.  Last Thursday there was a parade to celebrate the first deliveries of the huge rocks.  Here is a sign that we made:

Here is a picture of the pile of rocks down at the point:

This is a very exciting time for our wonderful town! 

 A couple of days ago we woke up to this in our bay:

We have been privileged to host some of the most awesome guests - this is a great job!  (It really doesn't feel like work - it's lots of fun!)  We had a lovely young couple stay with us for a couple days and today was their 4th anniversary!  We also have another couple here who used to own property UP here and they are having a fun time reorienting themselves to Grand Marais.  We feel so honored when people choose to stay with us to celebrate their special days; such as honeymoon, birthday, anniversary, etc.  This morning for breakfast we served sausage quiche, oven potatoes, fresh oatmeal bread with jelly and butter, chocolate chip banana bread and fresh apples and kiwi.

We are continuing to work on our landscaping - probably will always be a work in progress!!  Here is a picture of some of the flowers that are blooming right now:

Yesterday we picked up a cedar swing for the front yard - we just love it and hope our guests enjoy it as well!  Our good friend Robert came over to help put it together and we got a picture of him and his dog buddy relaxing on the swing.  

Hope you have a great night and I will update as soon as I can!
