It is wonderful to see family and it is wonderful to be in the north woods.
Water has been a dominant part of the weather scene.
But that is not all bad.
It is lush and green, and the blueberries are starting to turn purple.
I am hopeful that they will be available by the handful before we leave.
So much of the water has been coming down from the sky.
There were torrents for a bit, but more frequently drips and light rain.
Of course the bigger source of water is the lake.
It is high – or the beach is small, and ever-changing.
And it does seem to be colder than normal, although my ankles have been in for more than just a moment.
The amethyst rock is more exposed than I ever remember.
And at the water’s edge, rather than up by the grass. (It is really not too far from the grass, but it is definitely also near the water.)
