Quite an Accomplishment!

What would get rid of the fishermen?
It was a phone call and the words, "Come home!" clearly heard in the morning meditation.
When next the fishermen were spotted, just two hours after they had set up, they were reeling in their lines and folding their tip-ups!  One was talking on his mobile phone and using his free hand to load up his ice sled.
They departed, leaving only their holes and one fish breakfast for the crows.  We stayed after all.
And accomplished three things:
1.) Jim set up the mouse-eaten and mouse-soiled sissy box
in hopes that it would act as a deterrent for all fishermen this weekend, one of two free fishing weekends in Maine. 
2.) The chickadees were nosing around the birdhouses.  So Jim took them apart to clean them out and make them ready for the springtime nests.  He found an old nest and eggs.
Not sparrow, not wren, but chickadees!
3.) I marked the route to Everest Base Camp.
After dreaming about the trek, my back hurts this morning.
