Today is a rainy lake day. We use these days to catch up. The loon parents can take their babies (two right now) out for some swimming lessons without the competition of jet skis and other fast watercraft. The geese don't seem to mind activity but the loons are shy. On days like this everything takes on a more subtle beauty. The sky is filled with clouds that change from moment to moment and the water on the lake sends small waves our way.
All of our company is gone and Mark and I are back to puttering. I feel my stack of books calling. It really isn't good to work too hard. I may dig into 'Old Cape Magic' by Richard Russo. That seems like a good fit for a lake read. He gets the family thing right.
So we will miss everyone who came to visit but we have lots of good memories to store away. Even as we finished up this year's visit, we talked about 'next time'. The best adventures never end, they just wait for new chapters.
