15 days down

Well, I have been very much enjoying the sun lately. The cats and I have fallen into our summer schedule of walks, sitting out, while reading, back in to check the e-mail, then out again.  It's amazing how easily one falls back into old habits.

We haven't seen the geese babes for a week, while the parents have taken them to the island. I leave out bread for the geese each day, which the geese treat as poison while I look on and gobble down as soon as I turn my back.

Sunday, I went to the Pierrepont Park and was amazed at how flooded the river is from the hydro project. My favorite little beach is gone at the entrance, but there are a few little spots left untouched around the curve.

 I went to Chase Mills to visit the Thompsons and Sandi. We went down to the river, but didn't stay, as it was buggy and the water was high.  It was amazingly cold there up near the hose. Alan put on his parka and wool hat, while we took photos for Julia.

It was my first trip to Martin's and I am so glad to go back there.  I spent every cent as usual. I stopped to have Scoopacino's local strawberry ice cream and ate it at the gazebo in Ives Park. Welcome to my summer.
