| Fishing at Big Hook in Canada (185 air miles north of Red Lake Ontario) |
 |
| These five guys together caught ONE METRIC TON! of fish... most of them caught and released but some did make it home to the dinner table...delicious |
Such a wonderful summer, weather-wise. June was sort of a wash as far as warmth goes, but July and August... oh my. Just one nice day after another. People up here are not as thrilled as I am. Seems a lot of people live up north to escape the heat (meaning any temp over 65). I have kept my resolution to stay off my computer as much as possible and read, read, read! The house has been clean for three months now (!!?). Wish I could say the same thing for the laundry... bleh.
We have been eating beans, pea pods, tomatoes etc fresh from the gardens. Also we have made salads from nasturtiums, sorrel and other garden greens.
The guys went fishing in Canada, the rest of us have been in the pool pretty much daily. The horses have been wonderful and who'da thought, the boys are riding just as much as the girls! Kelly has been up most weekends for bonfires and horsey stuff, and that has been fun too ;)
Pete got a full time job, Tom and Reuben have started football practice, and soon the soldier will be home on R and R (hooray!).
I am finally facing the fact that school is starting up soon and I need to begin serious planning. Today, though, the sun is out and the wind is blowing so I need to get some clothes on the line :D

| You can get a couple of boys too do pretty much any chore if you just let them use the riding lawnmower to do it |

So good to hear from you Linda, and glad you've had a good summer. For sure it was way too hot down here. And happy to hear the soldier boy is close to coming home! Hip hip hooray!
Thank you! Terrific pics, looks like a great summer was enjoyed by all. No serious schooling going on here yet, either - getting adjusted to our 3 new littles! Blessings, Nancy
You sound like you had a peaceful, productive summer!! It is amazing how much more time we can find to get things done and stay on top of behaviors, etc. when we aren't distracted by electronics :( I guess we need a balance 'cuz reading everyone's blogs keeps me sane and I'm not willing to trade that for a cleaner house (yet).
The guys were in Canada and didn't come see me????? I'm shocked! There's great hunting and fishing up here, you know. I'll give you my moose tag if they give me some of the moose. :)
