Watching the sunset, solo in my kayak.
Watching the moonrise, with Chris and our neighbors in a boat belonging to one of those neighbors.
7/12: balanced out
While I was kayaking this evening some teenagers heckled me. It was not pleasant, but--thankfully--this is the first time in 6 years of my going out on the lake that something like this has happened. A little later I paddled past a father playing in the water with his two young girls; they said hello, and the older one remarked to me, "Awesome kayak!" I was very grateful, and their kindness helped to restore my equilibrium.
7/11: up and running
I knew I'd need a new computer sooner rather than later, but I didn't think that "sooner" would be quite this soon. I wasn't looking forward to copying files, downloading software, etc., but before kayaking time this evening the task of transferring folders and setting up my new laptop was pretty much done.
7/9: small window, but a window
I only had time to nip out onto the lake for 20 minutes this evening. But I did have time to nip out onto the lake for 20 minutes this evening.
7/3-7/8: after too long, too much
I spent the past days visiting a long-time friend whom I hadn't seen for far too long. Our days contained too much goodness to list!
7/2: extended morning office
I got up earlier than usual, and since it was cooler than usual, I spent the whole morning on the screened-in porch. Eating breakfast, drinking coffee, finishing reading a book, writing about the book. And Tilde kept me company.
7/1: hopping
Thunderstorms were in the air, so instead of kayaking I went walking at the indoor track. A little girl was walking with her mother, who was on her mobile phone. The little girl came up alongside me and started hopping, and kept hopping. So I hopped with her too for a bit, and she, her mother, and I all smiled.
