We had a nice dinner party out on the lake one evening. It was so nice, the wind so calm, the air so comfortable, we decided to eat out on the deck for the first time all season. It was lovely. At dinner's end "the Mount," (The Mount Washington Tour boat) came by and saluted us with a toot. It was all very lovely.
I have also had a couple of ekphrastic poetry readings ...poetry/sculpture walks and have some photos of the one that took place Sept 15 at the Old Frog Pond Farm, where the poems and sculptures were stellar.
I also went out to hear some live music, including a show by David Wilcox, who, is a very polished folksinger/songwriter. He has a real act going, but appears sincere, and is very entertaining. Many in the audience were moved to tears as he sang songs of people who were injured or killed or died one way or another. I enjoyed his performance, and was even going to buy a cd until I decided I didn't really want to. But I do recommend his live show. I also saw the all female Led Zeppelin cover band, Lez Zeppelin. They needed some time to warm up, but finished up with a really great show.
Oh, and I have a new recipe on the recipes tab: Chicken a la Queen with lemon and Rhubarb.
And I have a couple of new videos out. Here are links to my two what's new for Wake with the Sun in 2019 videos. I have yet to put them on the videos tab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT5CgtenFiw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_y3xsSq7p8
Another day on the Lake
These first few photos are sunsets from our "back yard" (behind our hoouse) in East Meets West in Bear Island.
Buzzed by the Mount
While dining out on our boat with friends, "The Mount" came close by and "buzzed" us hello.
Out to Dinner with Friends
We had a perfect evening for a dinner out on the boat, and we took our table outside and ate out as the sun came down. I made another blueberry raspberry pie, and during dinner, other friends stopped by to deliver a piece of mail. What a life.
More Boating and Visits with Friends
We had visits by loon friends and friendly loons. We had rains, wind, sun, and clouds. We toured Bear Island by pedal kayak. We swim and paddleboard, even on windy days.

Riding on the Charles
Here are a few photos I took cycling along the Charles, on my way back from the Mass Book Awards. I came across a youth rowing "camp" and as you can see, the boys do the simulation and the girls get the real thing.
