It occurred to me
As I lay in my newly washed sheets this morning feeling as lazy as the mist outside my window appeared to be it occurred to me that I could upload my videos to youtube and share them with you that way. That was a very early, before 5:30 a.m. coffee, and I had not even begun to figure out how to spoil Molly and me on this anniversary of our first month here. After coffee and still undecided, I headed up old highway seven to check out Lake Echo. It is lovely to be sure however I found no public access. There was a bay there, solid white with waterlilies. Why I did not snap that is beyond me! Contented with the early morning find, I turned the car around and headed to East Chezzetcook to give Miss Molly a run. Molly and I had not been there in a couple of weeks and so off we headed. There was not a human soul there but here were gatherings of ducks and gorgeous flowers. (Their ensoulment I will save for a future discussion). The tide was low enough that we could walk the sand and when that was done, clamour over the stoney hill to sit on a lone chair and just let osmosis take care of it all. Behind us was a pond banded by blue flags and to our right over a knoll was an inlet. If my pitching arm was as good as it once was I could have thrown a ball from that chair, to the ocean, the pond, and the inlet. My arm isn’t as good as it was, and probably the ability to have ever had that good a pitching arm is a bit of a stretcher but you get the picture.
