In reply to Scoops. Your cabin is lovely and you should enjoy it as much as you can. Some people just can’t be nice.

Random question… what is the red light at the bottom of the stove from?

In reply to Alice.

To each their own, Alice. I have been heeding these warnings since the end of January. It was always our intention to head to our second home early and quarantine which is what we did and continue to do – which I do not believe is selfish when done with caution and care. We haven’t left the property in four weeks. Yes we are privileged but I don’t feel I need to justify my intentions to you.

In reply to Karen. Hey Karen! Yes, I think we will all have a new founds sense of appreciation. We just had a pair of Geese and a few ducks return to the lake yesterday, and the evenings we can hear the frogs chirping now. It's the little things that help us get through these tough days.

In reply to Yael @ Nosherium. For sure! Be safe.

As someone in rural MN that is frustrated to see our limited healthcare resources (not to mention infrastructure, food, etc) strained by people coming up to their cabins I was really surprised and even angry to see this post. I came here to momentarily escape the stress of this virus and was shocked to see that you had also made the selfish and privileged decision to go to your rural cabin. Even though the stove didn’t work! My sister is social distancing in St Paul with two little kids, not coming up here to take sunset instagrams over the lake, and for that I am grateful.

Won’t Thanksgiving be wonderful next November! There will be loss, a new normal and a new appreciation for the little things. I’m from your city and love the WI lake country, grew up near there. Soon the ducks, geese and other waterfowl will be returning. I’ve been listening to the birds after their silence all winter and looking for anything green. Wet snow tonight is in the forecast.
Wishing I could be in the woods!

Yeah it’s a real shame your “leaders” in the US didn’t take this seriously. I worry about my neighbours to the south who may have tried to keep their distances but now find themselves surrounded by this virus. I hope you and your family are safe and that this passes quickly enough. Here in Canada, things are fairly well as we have just under 4000 cases across the country and about 40 deaths. Our government was swift to act and we have the added advantage of having a very large country with a very small population (37 million total). Stay safe everyone

Oh wow! What a beautiful and useful addition to the cabin! I ordered a new fridge and stove during the pre-Black Friday deals, they arrived before Thanksgiving, so cooking up our big meal was a pleasure.
With all the chaos going on, just hold steady and stay home as much as possible. It’s the best thing to do!
