Lost Post :(

So I had a nice beautiful, lengthy post telling y'all about our lives, and it feels like A LOT has happened...... but the internet went out while I was doing it yesterday but I didn't notice so kept typing away on this post and when I clicked publish now, poof, everything was gone besides the first sentence and my two pictures. So I'm only telling you about the pictures because no way am I going to try and redo that whole post.

The first picture is a beautiful giant Pileated Woodpecker that came to visit my feeder :) I was soooooo excited to see it. So excited that Penny thought she had to see too and she scared it off. Haven't seen it for the last week, but the weather has been crappy. I do know there are at least two living around here though so hopefully I'll see them plenty this summer.

And next, we have the Barker :) first ship of the season! There are supposed to be four more leaving today if Superior has calmed down, so maybe I'll have to spend some time down in Canal Park this afternoon to say bye to them for their first trips of the season. Too bad there won't be as much ice as in this first picture! It was so cool to watch it leave and see the ice have absolutely no affect on the boat at all.
