Sitting on the deck that overlooks the lake, it's such a clear beautiful day that you can even see the outline of the ship that sank many years ago. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind as a Canadian goose takes off from the water can be heard all around. A chipmunk scurries in front of you, stops briefly to stare, and keeps going on its way. There's something so calm and peaceful about being away from the city. Life is all about these moments.
P.S. Yesterday, I went hiking. I struggled over the rock beach (I hate that part), saw a blue jay up close, and a rattle snake in passing as I ran as fast as I could.. though I believe my sister stayed long enough to take a few pictures.
