i can’t believe we’re already on the backside\u00a0of august. \u00a0whooosh…<\/p>\n

even though i spent the first part of july lying around because of bronchitis, i did manage to mosey down to the water, where les continued to enjoy the sailboat. this is on july 5th, the day after we did nothing to celebrate the 4th of july because i had no energy for\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

this is the spot he loves the most, probably because it’s highest up, and he can survey the land.<\/p>\n

\"j8\"<\/p>\n

but he also enjoys staring out to sea.<\/p>\n

\"j9\"<\/p>\n

i wonder if he can see the fish under the water? \u00a0probably not, but there are lots of little ripples where they’re swimming around. \u00a0kevin is wearing the green flash t-shirt i got him on captiva island, FL, when mom and i went there a few years ago. \u00a0then kevin and i returned to the same spot. \u00a0hmm, i bet captiva would be lovely this winter….<\/p>\n

\"j10\"<\/p>\n

i liked the way les draped his paws over the side.<\/p>\n

\"j11\"<\/p>\n

look at that green lawn! \u00a0this is the first summer in a while that everything has been green all summer because of the massive amounts of rain. \u00a0it’s still just as green now!<\/p>\n

the great news is that our pontoon boat has finally been fixed, after languishing all summer long at the boat fixer’s shop. \u00a0it was unbelievably filthy when we got it back and i spent many hours cleaning it up.<\/p>\n

last night, erica and kim and i went for a lovely nighttime boat ride. \u00a0it had been such a long time since i’d been out on the water after dark. \u00a0it was fantastic. \u00a0during the day boats are always speeding hither and yon, maybe to avoid the heat, maybe to show off, it’s hard to say. \u00a0maybe just because they enoy the speed.<\/p>\n

but the funny thing is that last night, the handful of boats who were out were just bobbing around, not even moving.<\/p>\n

this was on the other side of the lake, under the vachel lindsay bridge. \u00a0when we got back to our side, there were literally no other boats anywhere. \u00a0the moon was full and orange. \u00a0we turned off the motor and enjoyed the quiet.<\/p>\n

and that is all for this later in august morning.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
