Happy July, and Happy Canada Day to those to our north.
Sunday was a very cloudy and overcast day. My sister, niece and BIL came out with their dog Gracie for the afternoon. Gracie got me soaked... she was fetching the ball from in the lake and kept coming by me and Terri (my sister) to shake. She might have been egged on to do that! Silly girl.
This is the Mama duck and 5 ducklings that like to come visit. She comes up on the lawn with her babies each morning.
Gracie loved the boat ride. She kept going from person to person but did like the seat next to me.
I did a kayak ride Sunday night and this is the camp we stay at.
On my paddle, a shot of the mountain with the tower at the top. We will see if I climb it this year or not. I have been getting my steps in while up here. I think the campus tour at Dartmouth got me set yesterday. Today we visit UVM up in Burlington.
Aidan wanted his senior photo's with a nice background. This is a little wood of birch trees near us, that I think would make a great background. We did get his formal photo's done for the yearbook, but we will do our own for his ones to hand out to family.
I have been adding grey surrounds to the granny squares and have about 3 left to do before they all are complete. It will be time to think about putting them together.
After the Dartmouth tour yesterday (Aidan loved the feel of the campus), we went up to King Arthur Flour. We got there after the cafe was closed, but got to look around the shop. We picked up a couple of scone mix boxes. Everyone is sleeping in this morning, except Dad and I. I'm enjoying the overcast morning on the porch, as the light rain has stopped for the moment. The pitter patter of rain on the metal roof is very soothing.
