Bayfield update

We've spent the past couple of weeks getting settled into our new home base and meeting new neighbours. Cathie even serenaded us all at a get-together with karaoke! Sorry, I'm not allowed to post video of that. :))

We have a completed driveway and the first pass of topsoil around the place now.

The marks are from the sawcuts in the concrete drive

 Inside the garage was pretty much a disaster zone for a while:

Breaking down the cardboard for recycling


But yesterday we got the car parked in the garage for the first time, a red-letter day!

We did have some hikes in the area as a break from unpacking. It's about a 15 minute walk to the lakeshore from here, through a nearby campground. This is what it looked like at the shore a few days ago, pretty wintry:



Today though, very different (the same tree as above):


It's hard to get the scale of these waves, but they were sure rolling in. Between the wind and the waves there was a lot of roaring going on. We've had quite the mild spell.

This the end of a very momentous year for us, and we probably won't be blogging as often for a while now. We'd like to send big Thank You to everyone that has followed along with our journey this year, and hope you have a very Happy New Year!
