Been fishing off the dock but nothing seems interested. I lost my good lure last time I was here and the fish don’t exactly jump at what I have left. Maybe I will see if I can find another one like I lost.
[[It happens... -Hula]]
I spend almost an hour Sunday and Monday (again) bailing out the boat. I should figure how to put on the cover.
Today I painted the bathroom walls above the tile a “Happy Camper Green.” It brightens the room and looks so cheery. Managed to get two coats and did the window as well. Will put up the shower curtain and make curtains for the window tomorrow.
Will tackle some of the outside painting tomorrow since we are expecting rain Thursday afternoon.
Lowell wants to paint the inside window sills which we didn’t do last year. Mostly living room and one window in our bedroom.
Katie and kids are planning to travel Thursday and Katie says her tomtom says it is 7 hour plus trip… hummmmm.
Finally took off one of the storm panels on porch on side toward Voyers. Gives us a better breeze on porch where Lowell does his puzzles and reads the papers. And where the computer desk is located.
Chipmunks continue to beg for food and attention. I have one who takes nuts from my sock band, half stocking band and then climbs on my knee to see where the third nut is. When I only had two, he climbed up and stared at me as if to say, where is the third one?
Got all the laundry caught up from changing beds after Mat and friends were here. Lowell did errands while I was playing at the Laundromat. Such fun!
I found the strawberry hat I thought was lost on the trunk with the towels I had left after the trip to laundry before we went home July 1. I had checked all over and figured it was gone so I ordered a replacement. Now I will have to send the new one back.
Flowers along the camp and the pot on the tree stump and the flowers Linda Voyer gave us are doing great in the cooler weather. They looked a bit limp when we got here Friday afternoon but the weekend rain and the cooler nights seem to have perked them up. We stopped in Peabody, Mass. On the way up we visited Linda and Paul Voyer and enjoyed Linda’s amazing gardens. The yard looks like something from House Beautiful! And Paul made some unique birdhouses to compliment the landscaping. Really neat yard and house.
Linda and Paul got here Friday. Tom and Rose Voyer were here Sunday for Bunny Brann’s mother’s 90th birthday party.
Lake is relatively quiet most of the days so the loons seem to be enjoying traveling up and down the cove early and late in the day. Osprey are taking care of youngins in their new tree loft across from Clark cove. Looks like a full nest. Still haven’t seen the Loon babies but they must be around. It is getting late in the season. Usually we see two or three riding the backs of parents by now.
With the brisk wind my wind chimes have been serenading me. They are beautiful. I hope to get out the clarinet and see if I can attract the loons. Last time, they swam into the dock area to see where the strange noise was coming from. Have to do better.
Nothing much more other than to keep praying for JoAnna and Adam, PJ and all of us. God is good and He will not forsake us if we ask for His help.
God bless from the Maine woods.
Grandma Joan and Lowell
