This is where I spent the last four days. It's a lake in Voyageurs National Park, Lake Namakan.
You regular readers will remember that Ed and I went there last summer, and had an idyllic weekend. This one was much the same idyllic -wise.
The flavor was different---different people, different activities, and different times.
This national park is the most recently created of all the national parks. It truly is a treasure----the incredible amount of fresh water, and the beautiful pine. The sky is so blue, and the clouds ride the wind overhead, faster, it seems than down here in the prairie.
There were many wild blueberries. Pancakes on Saturday. Scrumptious.
We saw deer, beaver, snapping turtles, pelicans, gulls, and eagles. The fishermen caught wall-eyes, small mouth bass, and rock bass. Ed water-skied.
We sat by a crackling fire and ate enough food to last for at least a week!
Today we recover from all that fun.
AND I have a sibling visiting this week., with some family, from out-of-town. A shower for my soon-to-be-daughter-in-law on Saturday, and Chinese guests arriving that evening. It turns out that a young friend/relative of my husband is moving away, and we hope to be of help to him. He's doing an international move, and it will be a challenge to find a home for all of his effects. We're hoping for some time to do all of this!
I won't be writing, unless I need a moment of sanity in all this activity.
I'm off to make a blueberry pie before the softball game tonight. (Can't get enough blueberries!)
High adventure. Loving it.
