It's a wonderful summer for us ... some say "sooo hot" ... but here all windows are open and if there's the slightest breeze, it travels right through our Log Cabin ... COOL ... when the air is still, we do have our AC system

| Low energy cooling system ;o) |

| Outlook over "Meadow" to pond |
 |
| "Narrows" going out into "Marsh" |
 |
| Emma, Willow, Camper Leena & Sutter |
The pond level is now perfect, the girls swim/retrieve bumpers every day, lawn/garden watering is done with a small sump pump submerged at pond edge, pond "weeding" is done from the kayak and fallen trees cut up with the chainsaw are towed behind the "Cedar-Sage" rowboat to shore for winter firewood ... whewwww!
Beaver's winter pruning of shoreline blueberry bushes (that do have new sprouts growing) cut our bountiful berry picking this year and a pesky grey squirrel dropped all of the dozens of beautiful ripening peaches to the ground and hauled them off ... Emma caught him in the act and chased him deep into the woods, GOOD GIRL EMMA :o) ... so there went my plans for making Christmas Peach jam ... can't believe we had to BUY blueberries & peaches to enjoy this year :-(

| Teaching Leena the "Art of Berry Picking" |
The Blackberry/Black Raspberry crop on the other hand, has been yummy and enjoyed by all during our morning & evening "walk-abouts"
We continue to enjoy this summer's SK Golden "campers" Leena & Orion ... Leena & I are concluding a 7 week "Basic Pet" class on Tuesdays, Emma continues Agility Foundation classes on Mondays & Tuesdays, Sutter enjoys her advanced Agility class on Thursdays and everyones Tracking sessions continue every other Saturday or Sunday ... continuing two 4-hour per deim work shifts/month at the hospital thankfully pays for the enjoyment of their training sessions ;o)

SUMMER CONTINUES and the FALL plans are under way...
