Summer is waning fast. I write this entry at just a few minutes past eight p.m. and it is already dark. Yuck. An hour earlier than just a month ago. Still, we've a week and a half till Labor Day, so every minute shall be savored. That day symbolizes the psychological end of summer, not the calendar's finale. We are such a comical breed, humans, the way we spin things! But let's talk about gorgeous, late-August days, such as today…
A cool night preceded an eighty-degree day that included warm water and brilliant sunshine. And Joe caught a fish that he later freed. Now this is clearly mention-worthy, as it has truly been the Summer Of No Fish. Seriously. Sportsmen are blaming it on many factors, such as rain-deprived, low lake waters that are extremely warm after a record-breaking, hot July. No fish, no eagles. We've had minimal sitings. Birdwatchers and amateur photogs such as myself are blaming the food shortage, herein. Ah, yes, the cycle of life… so it goes and so it goes...
Sharing our spectacular day, Aubs decided to take the board out for a spin, after which we did some beading and painting. It was fun. Can you believe that our Sugar is heading to fourteen, come November?!? Talk about time flying…
Gav was here, too, but NIK and I were simply not on our game, today. Sorry, Kids… I love you nonetheless. ♥
