Default August Friggin 1st already!

Hard to believe it's August already. Seems the summertime is never long enough around here. Sure enough, it's tourist season & that means "make HAY"...for the next few months...then it's back to "ghost town syndrom"and wondering how I'm gonna pay the bills...

But for now, I'm going to enjoy every day as it comes...
Worked my b*tt off today but still got out for a sunset paddle on the river & enjoyed a friendly game of "peek-a-boo" with a baby river otter (I'm pretty sure it's the same one I've seen quite a few times close to home here. Afraid maybe it's orphaned, they're not usually alone, but this little one has been the past 5 times I've seen em'.)
It's so cute & curious, gets right out on the rocks close to the kayak...I've named em "Minky Dink" (I thought it was a mink... because of it's size & being alone... but I'm thinking now, after seeing it up close quite a few times it's a young otter)

Anyway, I'm tired...long day @work, but a beautiful ending out paddling...
watching the clouds change color with the mountains as a backdrop.... the river was like glass after the sun went down.

Nothing like having a good music & a great puppy dog on the boat!

Happy August Everybody!

Default Thanks for the visual

Beautiful post Jude:

You sound good, though busy and still awake at 2:47 AM? Hope you sleep in today.

I feel the summer zooming by too quickly too: my daughter is away at camp for a few weeks and I know when she returns mid-August we'll be into "school readiness mode" so I'm trying to make the most of these quieter weeks.

Boston meet up w/ a few MWO folks today. . . we have beautiful weather and I'm looking forward to meeting MWO folks in the flesh. Will be thinking of all of you.

Happy August to all.

AFH
