i don’t know if the summer weather is over… if fall is truly stomping its way down the valley.  there was a skiff of fresh snow high in the mountains, the wind was howling and there was no going out without a sweatshirt.  but word on the street is that there’s a whiff of warmth [...]

this late summer blast of crystal clear, hot and delightful weather has been a dream.  the lake has been like glass and begs for the brief disturbance of our wake and laughter!

we’re leaving for camping today… and the weather is not looking as though it will cooperate.
but, we’re bringing games, books, fishing gear, a little boat, warm clothes and yummy food… all the trimmings for three days in a camper by the lake, nestled in the mountains.
