We have been enjoying some absolutely splendid summer weather. Enjoying it so much in fact that my house is a bit very bedraggled, the lawn is extremely shaggy (almost jungle like), the flower garden is full of weeds, and I didn't even attempt to plant veggies. As school came to a close and Josh's career path wobbled like a top at the end of its spin, I had this sense of urgency to make this summer unforgettable.
Half way through (and with Josh finding his place at our local radio station) we have been to the beach more times than I can count, had a few raucous play dates, paddled the full length of Rainbow Lake in anticipation of the rope swing dangling over the waters edge (twice) and stayed up just a little too late on a few occasions.
Now that Josh is gainfully employed and has a regular work schedule (not that I think waking up at 4am is regular but that's news/entertainment), our excursions have to be planned a little more carefully, but we've managed to squeeze in plenty of fun. Last weekend we took the dog (poor guy has to hang out in said jungle-like-yard and likes to pee on the few flowers in bloom...I think he does it to make me feel bad about his lack of attendance in our little adventures so far) and walked into Moose Pond. It's a very nice leisurely trail through tall pines and lush undergrowth that ends at a beautiful pond with several outcroppings perfect for swimming.
We even found a few raspberries on the walk out!
