Some Much Needed Quiet Days

The epitome of laziness... sitting on a couch behind a boat...

The past two days have been quiet, uneventful and relaxing. 

Yesterday was a beautiful day but for some reason the wildlife has been in hiding. The loon activity is minimal... even the nights have been mostly absent of the loon calls. We've only seen two loons at a great distance so far. This is quite a departure from the norm.

Overall, it has been quite quiet here. During the beautiful weather, yesterday, there were some boaters and water-skiers out and about on the lake... and the occasional lazy children sitting on inflatable couches being pulled behind expensive powerboats. If I had a boat capable of pulling anything, only water skis would be allowed in my boat... none of this inflatable couch nonsense. People, especially many of today's children, are lazy enough. The epitome of laziness has to be sitting on an inflatable couch while being pulled behind a boat! It was fun watching the occasional water-skiers though!

Today has been damp and rainy so we spent much of the day doing our weekly grocery shopping. Now, we are relaxing in the living room in front of the wood stove... some snacks in hand... a cold beer in hand... a nice night!

Tomorrow the grandchildren arrive and we're looking forward to their company. The kids will have Sheila's parents in tow so the house should be buzzing tomorrow!
