Yesterday's April Fool's joke was not particularly inspired, but maybe it gave you a little smile. Thanks to Danny and Barbie for inviting us to observe visiting lake-life on Lake Superior!
Everything was true about the ice-out contest, but everything about the oatmeal cookies was made up. I'm pretty sure that anyone who wants to eat a cookie would be disappointed without that shot of butter and sugar!
Yes, it is true that in 2012, ice-cover on the lake disappeared by March 22nd.
If you still would like to submit a guess for the contest, all the dates at the end of April have been taken, but many dates remain in May, for those of you who may be less optimistic about when we'll see open water.
If you are hesitating, now here's added inducement to join in. Cecil promises a second place prize of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, and Judy Ruch offers CD's of Celtic music from her and Bob's music ensemble. Wow! Get your email to me ASAP.
(I found this image as I searched for an April Fool's graphic to post. It made me wonder what mean mom would trick her kids with chocolate eggs in their lunches ----which were actually grapes!)
