Wake with the Sun is Back, trip to NYC, and More

Well, we are back on Lake Winnipesaukee, and how lovely it is. The water is cool, but not too cold, the air temperature is pleasant, and the surrounding mountains are serene. For our first night back on Bear Island, we headed out for a Solstice sunset cruise, and enjoyed lovely views. This morning, I paddled to Five Mile island (roughly a mile away) and then swam back.

Our plans are to sit back and chill, enjoy friends who visit, swim, paddle, and keep writing, working, and making videos.  We are still listening and reacting to the news of the world and the nation, but what a nice place we are to do that from. Oh, and cooking. - I hope to put up new recipes this season too.

I also have some lovely photos of my trip down to NY in the Bolt, and a nice walk around Horn Pond in Woburn, and various music pics including Dennis Brennan Band at the Lizard Lounge and Pesky J. Nixon at Front Street Concerts in Hopkinton.

My favorite photo for the moment is this one I took this morning when I woke with the sun on Wake with the Sun. Enjoy.

Oh, and Thank you to all who have preordered "Intimacy with the Wind" to be published by Finishing Line Press this fall. If you haven't yet preordered a copy, here is a link, and thank you so much in advance. https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/intimacy-with-the-wind-by-carla-schwartz/

Trip to NYC and environs June 8-11

We drove the Bolt to NY a couple of weeks ago. Down on one charge. Back on one charge. That is going places in an electric car. During the trip I saw friends, rode along the hudson in Manhattan, and took the train long the Hudson to Grand Central from Tarrytown.
