Monday, Sept 2

Today was a full day.  Started the morning with hawk outside of the deck. It was windy - you can see its feathers are blowing.

 We did the usual walk, breakfast and then coffee at the church.  We came home and washed fresh wild blueberries to prepare them for tomorrow's pancakes.  We made granola and did a few other things before lunch.  After lunch Jay carried the canoe down to the lake and Jeanne and I went canoeing.  Gorgeous day.  It had cooled down and the sun was just coming out but it was not hot.

Got pretty close to a turtle

Jeanne carried the canoe back up the hill to the house.  After relaxing a bit Jay, Jeanne and I went exploring with Jay to a place he had heard had a patch of wild blueberries.  Eureka!!  We found them.  We picked like crazy.  I could have pick more but one hand was busy waving the mosquitoes away.  We got 3 quarts of berries.  Wild berries are very tasty but they are tiny.  

We got home in time to make a nice birthday dinner for Jay.  Yummy meal.

We made a real dent in the birthday cake.  I wanted you to see the layers.

Tonight we watch RED.  Fun Bruce Willis movie.  A full day.
