The lake is warming up


Another sunny day dawned here in Averill -- bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds dotting the horizon. The wind is from the north so the weather should hold for tomorrow. With six days of sun, the lake has warmed measurably. I wouldn't call it warm but it's not the frigid experience it was on Saturday, that's for sure.

Thursday brought more Harry Potter (really good), more puzzling, more naps in the hammock, more kayaking, more swimming, more sleeping in the sun. We also took an evening trip over to the Connecticut to Junction Pool. It was a beautiful evening although we never did figure out what they would bite on. Alan lost a bunch on an elkwing caddis but that didn't prove to have lasting appeal. We did see a mink which surfaced briefly on a rock before heading back into the water -- Alan's second of the week and Carole's first.

Back at Camp, we had a late dinner of Solomon's boneless ribs (wishing for Hardy's rub), fresh peas, spinach, and beet greens. About 10pm, headlights flashed in the driveway and Jacques, Jenn, and Bandit arrived to start their week. Late night visiting on the porch took us to midnight and bed.
