Relative Something

The day started pretty normal yesterday up at the lake, despite the fact it was a national holiday. Our community game day is scheduled for tomorrow since the 4th landed on a Thursday and not everyone was able to arrive during the work week.

First things first. Time to pump up the inflatables.

While I was standing on the dock, I spotted a fish watching our every move.

Later, while we were sitting on the deck we heard the call of an eagle. It was perched in a tree at the side of the house.

We’ve heard multiple reports of bear sightings on the property. As Cyndie and her niece, Althea were about to leave on a trip to town, the young bear crossed the driveway a short distance ahead of them.

The visibility of wildlife helps to make it feel more like we are on vacation at the lake place. It’s like the frosting on our cake of hanging out with family and friends, laughing over stories, playing games, and sharing scrumptious meals.

I’ve almost forgotten what it is like to be home and tending to the property and animals each day.

Almost.
