The Loon

 One of the highlights living on the lake is our pair of Loons. For four years we have watched them with hopes of seeing some babies. Each year passed with no babies, that was until this year. A pair of Loons surprised us with a little one. Everyone on the lake was so excited, lots of instant messaging, photos and very slow boat rides to see the new resident. Mama Loon was very protective keeping the baby behind her and safe. Papa Loon was fishing but keeping a close eye. I love lake living and all the exciting new experiences I am able to be a part of.

Family

 On Sunday July 11 Jennifer and 4 of her 5 kids came for a vacation. Julia my oldest grand-daughter had to work so she stayed home. One can never predict what the weather will be and as it turned out it was cool, cloudy and rainy. Did the kids let that stop them no way. They swam, went tubing, fished, kayaked  and when they sprayed for weeds plan B was put int play, putt putt golf and go carts. At night we played games or went for a boat ride. Everyone had a great time and can't wait to come back.

Summer Time

It's July first and I keep wondering where is Summer. You know the kind of summers we knew as children Hot, humid and lots of sunshine. We didn't have air conditioning we had fans. If it got too hot we went to our basement to play or mom filled up the little pool in the backyard and we cooled off. The summer of 2021 is so odd. We had hot weather in April, frost warnings in June and rainy cool temps in July.  I wonder what August will bring. Even though its been weird it amazes me how vacationers don't seem to mind, Today its poring rain and there are water skiers and kayakers on the lake.  I guess when you take time off work to go on vacation you don't let a little rain ruin a good time.
