It's been a few days since I've written in the blog. I originally intended to write what I am interested in, what I'm doing, etc. But that didn't seem very interesting so I paused. But (again), that's my life! - interesting or not. So here goes.
Went kayaking yesterday at Trillium Lake. Amazing little lake at the base of Mt. Hood. Got there early and there were only a couple of fisherman on the lake and one boy in his canoe. The lake was so smooth is was like glass. There was a clear reflection of the mountain on the lake. Kayaked a while, then found a perfect spot at the water's edge to eat a nice lunch I prepared and read. Then took at walk around part of the lake and swam for a bit. Talked to some nice people. Everyone was enjoying the day.
The boy in the canoe was really nice. We were paddling relatively close and he asked if I'd been up to a particular end of the lake. I said I hadn't because of all the grass growth and lillipads. He told me how to get around the plant growth to go up into this cool area. Very refreshing to chat with a young man that wanted to help an old lady find a fun part of the lake!
I've been to the lake once before. A couple of years ago, I bought my sister, Ann, a pair of snowshoes for Christmas. I bought myself a pair as well - so we could go snowshoeing together. We went to Trillium to snowshoe - but took a wrong turn and never found the lake! Didn't matter though - still had a great day in the beautiful Oregon snow. Now I know which way to go - hope to go again this winter.
I might go kayaking again on Friday. Must enjoy the remaining days of summer! Will be fun finding another spot to put in.
... make it a great day!
