Before we went to bed last night we just stood at the edge of the water and watched the stars. I’ve seldom seen them that way…so bright and so close you could almost touch them. They were reflected in the lake and the water was bright…by starlight alone. And beautiful shooting stars blazing their way across the sky. Not a human sight or sound to intrude…just the quiet slap of the water against the shore and the insects calling to one another. Heaven must be like this.
Rick went out fishing in the canoe this morning. Found a little cove and tucked in there. He had a bit of problem getting out of the cove however…a brisk wind had come up and at the point it was pushing him back about as fast as he was paddling forward! It took a lot of work to get back home! In the mean time I was sitting at the water’s edge with a good book and soaking up this wonder of a place.
