Some days are just a 'bottoms-up' kind of day!!

Ahhh, animals!

Finnigan has been enjoying camp so much. Since his first swim [not on purpose - he jumped out of the boat. That's whole other story!] he's been actually quite calm in his crate to and from home. He stays outside almost every night and sleeps during the day. He's brought us a critter or two, but he basically sticks close to the camp and explores his surroundings.





Gracie, of course, is our cutie patootie. Loves camp. Enough said!!





Now, here's the thing. Porcupines are cute and all, but I'm not sure I like them hanging around. This one has been sticking close by for the past several weeks. So far, Gracie hasn't really seen it [maybe smelled it] and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm not sure how curious she would get, but I don't want to take any chances. Let's hope it's moved on it's way....

I'm Crafty!


I've been into a crafty mood lately. Last week at camp I made a large dream catcher made with two intertwined rings. I'll post a pic when I've got it completely done.
Then I was in the mood for making smaller ones. I really liked how they turned out, so I'm thinking of posting them on-line for sale!
Would you buy one for $12? It's about 2.5" in diameter. Is the price okay or too high/low?

Did you Wonder where I've Been?

It's been four months since my last post. That kind of sounded like a confession, ha ha. I had good intentions, but just never got around to updating my Blog.
At the end of May, I ended up in the hospital for four days after complications with my Crohn's. However, since then I am happy to say that I've been totally symptom free! Keeping my fingers crossed....!
The summer weather could have been better, but every day we were at camp was a good day. We did some renovations. I cleared a lot of brush...again. We had lots of company, lots of good times. Doug was on holidays for six weeks and the time just flew by.
Here it is September already and I look back and wonder where the summer went. I hate to admit it, but I am kind of looking forward to Autumn! There's something about the end of summer that brings a sort of renewal. Most people might feel that in the Spring, but for me it's when the nights get cooler and the days are crisper. I feel like I want to purge things that I haven't looked at for months. We're having a yard sale on Saturday and I hope to get rid of a lot of STUFF. On the other hand, I want to store and gather like the squirrels and chipmunks do. This is the time of year that I want to spend money. I want to buy things for the house [maybe it's the thought of winter around the corner] to make me cozy and keep me busy. Like a new laptop or new towels for the bathroom!
But I don't want to rush it. I'm hoping that September brings some unseasonably warm temps and that October will be sunny and mild. Looking forward to more weeks at camp before the ice starts forming on the lake.
Here's a few photos from the past few months to share with you!
