I am sure that you have heard the saying.... "if you want the most comfortable seat in the house, move the dog!!" well, I don't think that the couch is the MOST comfortable seat in the house, but Trevor sure has found his spot!!! Actually, the dogs are always "so busy" at camp, that when they come inside, they are happy to crash. Nothing like the good behavior of a tired dog!!!!Despite the warnings of today being rainy and messy, Ed was up bright and early to head out for the NASCAR race. Now, usually I have "girls day" at the camp when Ed heads to the races, but this year, it just got by me somehow. One thing is the race came earlier in the summer than it has in the past and the other is, we have been working so hard, that I tend to lose track of the days.
Either way, I had planned on getting some shopping done and dropping in on my friend, Aileen... but, when the sun broke out and I had the chance to get some outside work done around here... I changed plans as well... (sorry Aileen... I owe you a visit!!!)
I have been told that Loons are "fussy" birds and will only chose to live on lakes that are very clean. I was also told that most small ponds will only have one pair of loons ..well, I would like to know what's going on here....
This morning, I saw 6 loons out "fishing" in front of the camp. They hung around for the longest time, and I wished I had a better lens on my camera... they are so beautiful.
I could easily hear them calling back and forth to each other... I just love the songs that they sing (Kassy doesn't... she is "afraid" of them!!!) but, there's nothing like a warm summer night on the lake with the loons singing you to sleep...
Hey.. maybe that's Trevor's "problem".... the loons have sung him to sleep.

WAAA! I miss the camp! The loons, the 'doggies', the friends, and the water! (oh well. Maybe next year.)
That picture of your dog on the couch is priceless. Loons are great! That call - if you listen for it, a bazillion movies put loon-calls on their sound-tracks: westerns, etc. where loons aren't to be found for thousands of miles! Loon-call = wild place in the minds of film sound people...Cute.
oh my goodness- the call of a loon scared the dickens out of one of my brownie campers at camporee this year! i personally think its an amazingly beautiful noise, but she, she was terrified!
Charlie can't wait to come to the camp NEXT WEEK!!! He loves to swim!!
NO fair, Kassy! You get to go there, and I can't!!! (I'm just teasing. I really, really, really miss it!)
Camp sounds like fun!
That's actually how our Laci sleeps 90% of the time! It must be a cocker thing!
