On the way home from the restaurant, we noticed that friends J & J were putting up our recently repainted arrow signs. They look great (in our opinion, of course). Only one more needs lettering before we put that one up. We finished off the project by painting the frame white, and it all calls out to tourists saying, "Look at me!" The remaining sign says "Port Wing Marina," but then today we came up with another sign we still need to make. It will say something like, "Beach & Pier Access." Otherwise people driving through don't realize we have this great beach just a mile down the road!
When that was done, we moved on to the big project of the day--painting the pavilion next to the Town Hall. Here's a before:
We were given permission to change the look a little by painting more of the trim green. Actually, the color is called "Town Hall Green," not the official name, I'm sure. I know I had a lot of Town Hall Green on my hands, arms and even face by the time we got home this afternoon.
The white gables still have to be painted and also more of the green, but we might get it all done tomorrow. Here's how it looks so far:
See? The white still has to be painted, but then it will look great!
And here's a picture update. Remember the field of narcissus/daffodils? Here's how it looks now:
And, alas, we still have ice in the harbor. I was talking with our septic guy today and he had been fishing Lake Superior this week. Water temperature was 36˚! I don't think that's prime fishing conditions; swimming might happen in July...or August...
But today the air temp was 70 or above, so maybe more days like today can make this ice disappear!

I love your blog! It is such a great way to stay up to date. The clean-up work you all are doing is wonderful! And there are still pieces of ice on the lake. We figured when we are there next they will be gone - maybe not! Robin
