Well! I hadn't expected to be missing for so long. Last week I was working hard to meet a deadline, then the weekend came with a lovely lazy Saturday- brunch, a little garage sale-ing, some free magazines in a box and an afternoon on the porch reading and knitting.

Sunday we went to a wedding on lake Simcoe. One of my oldest and closest friends married her lovely fella and it was a great day.
These are some cute ducks I saw- ten babies! Quite a handful. We stayed over there and I swam in lake Simcoe on the Monday which was a holiday called Simcoe Day. I felt quite pleased about that. I also saw a tiny bat sleeping up in a corner by the pool. It was so cute and I whispered to Paul "shh- he's sleeping!" which seemed funny to me.

Mum drove up that evening and early on Tuesday morning we drove up to Crane Lake to hang out with my brother and sister in law and our friend B. This is me reading Martha on the dock- bliss! It was so wonderful to hang out with my family again chatting away for hours, eating chips and swimming. We were so lucky to be able to get away and go to this perfect place.

Today I am in Monday mode and keep comforting myself by remembering it is actually Thursday and on the weekend I get to see all of them again for a special dinner to celebrate our wedding. Yay!
I saw a wood duck with ten (big) ducklings in the Boundary Waters. They were hiding in a cove next to our campsite. They drifted past us and then sprinted as a group for ten yards.
