July 6, 2006



Our 4th of July celebration lasted for the entire weekend. On the river here in the Thousand Islands people shoot off fireworks each evening somewhere visible. I have lived near water in several areas over the years and that seems to always be the case. I speculate that it is because of visibility and the clarity of sound out over the water. I have some fair pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet. I have lots to post and will do so soon. Busy cleaning up after family left and did start a watercolour painting of the lighthouse and the 4 beautiful loon's that I saw in the river. I have been biking to Clayton from Fishers Landing as often as I can. It is 10 miles with some steep hills coming in. The weather here has been fantastic although very very windy over the weekend. Now it is perfect and we plan to take a long boat trip up to Alexandria Bay and around the back side of the huge island, Wellesley. Sebastian will love it too. I hung an Oriole feeder in the poplar tree in the postage stamp yard atop the rocks on Wog Island since I spotted an Oriole there a week ago. No takers yet. I have yet to ride on the Sea Doo but Ralph says he will take me soon. No funny stuff though! Last evening we went to the Clayton Opera House which is very historic to watch, "Patsy Cline Always", a musical play about Patsy and a fan of hers. The singing was grand. the picture attached is of Ralph and I at a restaurant overlooking the Seaway. The other is a homemade Catamaran????

Keep playing and dancing in the summer sun and breezes.
