Take the Goat Trail to the Lake?

 

No, once was enough, for this year. We took the trail down Wednesday, but yesterday decided to opt for the lift.

Late in the afternoon, we fixed ourselves a gin and tonic and headed for the dock to soak in the sun before today's predicted rain.

 

The sun didn't show itself (as it had in the photo from Wednesday), but the clouds over the lake were so dramatic that we hardly missed the sun or minded the few showers.

 

 

Today looks like it will be a full day of sitting on the porch, reading, listening to the storms, watching the lake be gray and steely through the greenness of the trees on the slope, chatting with the neighbors who are close enough to dash over through the deluge and join us. Our camp's porch is a neighborhood favorite, which means we can stay dry and they will come...for conversation, Meg's great cheese, Croghan baloney, and local cheese curds.

Tonight, if the creek don't rise...dinner at the Windfall with friends, and then the first event of the Reunion Weekend.
