June 18 Update

Wow, where does the time go? It has been so crazy busy around here it is hard to believe the end of June is just around the corner! The flies have been fairly co-operative as of late. We are only feeding them dusk and dawn so far unless it is over-cast and then they seem to be hungry all day long like a 16 year old boy!! The weather this week has not been too bad. We have managed to miss most of the storms and carry on getting the toys back to their homes. The weather person seems to have a varied opinion on the weekend’s weather but I think we will go with the thoughts of a former Peterborough weather forecaster! “There will be a 75% chance of weather this weekend!” The forecast hasn’t been right for the past 7 weekends so why should this one be any different? We have been enjoying seeing everyone trickling back to enjoy another great summer in the area. We would also like to welcome all of the new faces that have been lucky enough to procure a piece of this great place we love to call home! Have a safe drive up, hope you had great luck on your exams(the younger folks!) and enjoy the weekend!

June 2 Update

Snow on the weekend!! Who would have thought that possible other than it was still May? It was a weekend to remember weather wise for sure. The weather was less than desirable all of last week and hopefully with the start of a new month things will change for the better. Like a number of people have asked, what happened to global warming? We are still extremely busy and a little behind with all of the weather issues but perservering to get all of the toys back to their home bases. I have to apologize to those that have had some issues with the site. Unfortunately, our server/host company had experienced an attack on their servers and contracted some viruses. These slipped through the cracks and caused some issues for some customers and ourselves. They have assured me they are tackling the problem and everything should be good soon!! It has been great to see so many people up braving the weather and bugs. Depending on where you are and the wind you don’t see many but others are really looking like well used pin cushions! The critters were out in full force late today and all types were in the hungry mode. We are hoping the weather person is right this week and we can finally enjoy some nice weather the rest of the week. Have a great week. Our hours for June remain 8-5 seven days a week!

May 25 Update

Finally, not too bad a weekend! The weather and the bugs didn’t mind co-operating for a change. Depending on the wind and where you were the weekend didn’t go too bad. Some were overwhelmed with bugs while others complained there was none to be seen! Sunday was definitely the day to be out enjoying the cottage! The picture to the right today is our newest part of the welcoming committee that everyone has been asking about. His name as most know now is Stormy. We have had the pleasure of enjoying this great fellow for almost three years now but have had to keep him in hiding because of his Lab tendencies to be a little playful! He weighs in at a modest 100 lbs. lately so we had to make sure he had calmed down a bit to be part of the team! He came to us through one of our more thoughtful customers that didn’t want to see him destroyed after he had been through a few homes before he was 10 months old.(unfortunately, those homes didn’t realize what a lab had for energy levels!!) He is a fixture now on the docks and store and only requires a pat on the head and a hello to become your friend forever!(biscuits he thinks add to the love and memory of who you are!! Don has been helping him remember people!!) We are still working around the clock to get all the toys in so please be patient and your treasure will be back on the dock soon. The time is required to ensure the treasure is parked beside the dock and not under it when you return to play with it for another great season on the lakes! Be back soon and hopefully the weather guy is wrong again this week so we can get alot more work done before the weekend!
