Controlling Invasives...

Quite proud of what was accomplished!!  This is just a small part of what we worked on!

Fall Creeping In...

Quick Jaunt...

Took a mental health day and hiked a bit....and it was great to be outside!

The outside theme continued Labor Day weekend...

There are people who pay megabucks to get these highlights...

Sky Shapes...

We had only one day of rain...the rest was just sunny bliss.. 

Spray Screen...

When the Swedish log needs assistance...

Hanging Out...

North vs. South Lakes..

Kaaterskill Falls...

Continuing the theme of the week - "What is the plan? OUTSIDE!!!" (and yes, I did walk that rim too)  The goal is to hike there when the falls are frozen but that only happens about once every five years.

Fire (Tower) & Water...

Tuesday's hike was to fulfill my selfish fire tower goal - am now 60% complete! 

First Full Day!

First full day consisted of a hike, swimming and ice cream with all the kids...what else could one want?

Vacation Starts...

I'll Sing It Loud...

Thoroughly charmed by this song....but I should have known that would happen....



"Falling Slowly" 
I don't know you 
But I want you 
All the more for that 

Words fall through me 
And always fool me 
And I can't react 

And games that never amount 
To more than they're meant 
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home 
We've still got time 
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice 
You'll make it now 

Falling slowly, eyes that know me 
And I can't go back 

Moods that take me and erase me 
And I'm painted black 

You have suffered enough 
And warred with yourself 
It's time that you won 

Take this sinking boat and point it home 
We've still got time 
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice 
You've made it now 

Falling slowly sing your melody 
I'll sing it loud

Edits...

Reflecting...

Comfort...

This is beyond adorable...
 

Lobster Party!!

This theme has gotten out of control!
