The reason why I haven’t posted in so long is largely related to having no well-functioning camera. Then summer ended with the fall of the PT Cruiser and three weeks of car shopping.
This is an amalgamation of bits of things we did, but it doesn’t capture what stands out. When I think of how time flew by, I think of going for a quick swim every afternoon and spending a lot of time watering the garden.
We watched Minions and the second Jurassic movie at the drive-in last weekend and I stayed awake for both shows. May have finished the popcorn before the first movie started. Didn’t even think to pack bug repellent, so my feet got eaten up. We left the dogs at home, but I wonder if next time they might like to join us?
Recently I’ve been fascinated by the book Ontario’s Old-Growth Forests: A Guidebook Complete with History, Ecology and Maps by Michael Henry and Peter Quinby. I think Eric is getting tired of my mini “lectures” about tree species every morning at breakfast (and every other chance I get). Anyway, here’s my list of some of the forests I want to visit, with any luck, starting this summer:

Abbey, Sage, Scruffy, and Chinny accompanied Eric and I on a tour around Beausoleil Island and Giant’s Tomb at the end of August. No one will blame you for not telling the dogs apart; schnauzers pretty much look the same when they’re wet.
