Quiet, September days...Last Days

We are coming on our last days here on Bear Island, and it's sad to be leaving. I am not packing up yet, though. I think that will have to be at the last minute so that I can savor each moment on the lake until then. This week we had visits from a friend from Carlisle, and some family member. We hiked up Mt. Lafayette one day.... 9 miles, 10 1/2 hours of walking (with rests) and that pretty much wore me out for a couple of days. I am just now recovering.

I've been taking photos and thinking about endings. I hope you enjoy these photos.

PS I am still updating the videos and recipes tab on this blog, but a bit at a time. In the meantime, here is a link to my newest video...about what's new in the Wake with the Sun for 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrmqvdofD7I

Hiking Mt. Lafayette

Visiting with Friends, Sunset Cruise and More

Our friend arrived one afternoon and we met him at Y Landing with our two pedal kayaks. The three of us kayaked back to Bear Island and then took the boat out for a sunset cruise. I cooked our dinner as we headed out. We sat and talked and ate under the stars, and went for a dip before we headed back under starlight to our running and anchor light.
