The longest days of the Year!
























































I guess this is the normal thing here in June, the days are very long, a dog sure can get tired out. There is just too much to do. Chipmunks and squirrels are everywhere. The birds sing like crazy in the wee hours of the morning. And those pesky ducks, they just don't let up. A dog really has it's work cut out. We spend lots of time on the dock these days except when it is raining, which it did a lot this month. Used to be I could wade in the water and actually have chance with maybe catching a duck or 2 but oh no, this year the water just keeps on getting deeper giving the ducks a big edge. And the loons, they swim in pretty close too. They can get kind of noisy and then they disappear in the water. Where do they go?

One day, even though the sun was out, the wind blew all day long, like 50 mph! We went over to Mary Lou's house and all the people who live there had their boats swamped. Some people even lost their docks. It was scary because trees were falling down all over the place. While my Mom was driving us to Mary Lou's, a big tree fell down right in front of us. If we had been a few seconds earlier, it could have fallen on us! Whew! Hopefully we will get some sunny warm days without wind and storms. Meanwhile, I will keep watch on the dock. Those ducks may just try to move into the cabin! Stay tuned, the suspense is building!
