The birds are back! Molly and I had a delightful four days at our small Northwoods cabin … taking long bicycle rides and enjoying the wilderness we so love. In my case, each morning started with birdsong long before sunrise. Two mornings ago I looked out the bedroom window and realized a great sunrise was in the offing. What followed was a delightful day both on and off the lake, but never more than a few hundred yards from our cabin.
