This is one of the absolutely best-ever times to be in Hawkeye, the weather couldn't be better. I've been having wonderful dock days with Linda and the swimming is cold but grand. The lake has been pretty calm and almost deserted, what a fantastic gift this time of year is!
It's a busy time in Hawkeye, the 'hood is full of friends and more friends. Some are arriving, some are leaving, there's a lot going on. Tomorrow is the neighborhood breakfast, lots of people and lots of food on a porch. Dinner last night with friends I totally enjoy being with, they make me laugh and laugh.
This morning I walked with my friend in a new spot, a logging road that goes up and up and up (wheeze, huff and puff) but there are tons of deer tracks and even a bonus few moose tracks and a spectacular mountain view, wow was it ever pretty. We're returning tomorrow morning and I'll take pictures of the view because why not?
Busy week coming up. Monday is changeover day in the thrift store and I said I would help. I don't know what that entails--we're switching from summer to winter stuff. It will be a lot of work, that much I know.
A few dinners this week, people are getting ready to leave during the next few weeks so there's a mad rush to spend final times together. What will it be like after Columbus Day? QUIET, very quiet. I'll no doubt be ready for that by then, I love these people, they are my closest friends but I have to move on toward winter's solitude.
