Am enjoying some time at the lake, but I brought some of the treehouse materials with me so that I could build the Dutch doors for the wee house that I've been building for Clara and Henry. These door parts will be ready to install when I get back to that project. The plan for this treehouse was developed by someone in Canada, and it has lots of fun, kid-friendly features. One is this owl cutout in the top door. There is some screen to keep bugs out, but behind that is another pair of tiny doors with the owl's eyes cut out so that kids can peek out from the house to see who is knocking, or the little doors can be opened for more visibility.
Kathie and her mother and I have been enjoying the emerging spring season here at the lake. There are already some fishermen out catching crappie and other panfish, but the full season doesn't open for another week. We are getting the boat ready to go out soon. The dock is already back in the water. In addition, we have done some miscellaneous repair work, cleaned the gutters, and readied the hot tub, which we have enjoyed several times already. More and more birds are arriving, and trees and plants are opening up. That silly robin still doesn't like using the nice nesting platform I made for her a year ago. (In case you don't recall that story, click here to see how she responded to the platform last year—same thing this year!) The lake is nice and full of water, which is good to see, since the winter here was too mild and dry. We are looking forward to many nice days again this summer.

What did the kids think of the doors?
