Cottage storm

I was up to the cottage today, with Jex, to help my parents with cottage-opening stuff: removing the storm windows, putting the pump intake in the lake, dragging a canoe down to the lake, etc. Shortly before dinner a brief but strong storm blew through with strong winds and a bunch of pea-sized hail. The winds also took down three trees around the cottage, again with none of them actually hitting the cottage, but the power-line in to the cottage did get taken down, again.

Jex and I also had a pleasant canoe around the lake during the afternoon, and a nice ride on the motorcycle to get to the cottage. Coming home was a bit wet, though not too bad. The really heavy rains from the second storm front to pass through, though, had washed some deep crevasses into parts of the road, though.
