Wow it seems like I have hardly had a moment for myself lately. Therefore, I will take advantage of this moment! Since the visit of our good friend Outback Bob we have been extremely busy with preparations and plans. We have finally met with an architect to begin designing the new lodge. Big E and I are somewhat in agreement of our visions and expressed them to the architect. His initial sketch was not exactly what I had in mind, but he is going to work out a couple designs, and we can go from there; it will be a better start than Big E and I arguing. However before we even need to worry about that, there is a lot of ground work to be done. The lot had to be logged, and currently an excavator and bulldozer are destumping, smoothing and setting in the driveway. Next will be a well which we have already contacted a well driller and met with him also at the site. Sometimes, I just have to take a step back though, as it is all so overwhelming to me at times. In the meantime, we still have this years upcoming bear season rapidly approaching with many preparations going on with that. We have two new lots for bear sites this year and we have to go tomorrow and GPS the sites; looking everything over to see what will need to be done for treestands, bait placement and cleaning trails.
Of course while all this is going on, so is life at the Lyons residence which has had some serious ups and downs. "Isn't life just grande??" Well, I do believe it is for the most part and another saying,"whatever don't kill ya, will only make ya stronger!"
We also have taken a little time to try to enjoy ourselves as well. We have gone on a couple 4 wheeler rides and fly fishing at our little piece of Heaven; Nesowadnehunk lake.I also had the absolute pleasure of taking a couple out kayaking on the Penobscot River along with a few other ventures onto the waters. We have been seeing several baby turkeys running through the tall grass in the fields, however not many partridge. We have also seen a few moose, deer, bear and fox along out travels which is always a special treat.
I have personally enjoyed a fire in our fire ring with silhouettes of moose and trees dancing about with a cozy glow along with gorgeous sunsets coloring the mountain and the sky, to moonlight casting it daylight light glow. Just take a moment with me; imagine and enjoy the wonders of the Lord and Lady!
