Good Morning Everyone,
Today we have Randi and her family in our thoughts. Max has arrived safely at the Rainbow Bridge and is surrounded by many, many friends.
After the excitement of yesterday's squirrel hunt, Rusty (and we) didn't hear the first-bell alarm this morning. Good thing the "Ducks" sound their alarm 3 minutes later!! We had a good test (not a bad AMPS, especially since the shot yesterday evening was short), shot, breakfast (Wellness Turkey, 2 sittings), a good play with the streamers on the wand, and now Rusty has come upstairs and is sleeping on the banquette. How wonderful that he has discovered this spot!
It looks like another sunny day today, hopefully not as windy as yesterday. Some thundershowers are predicted for later on and I hope they will move out before tomorrow, when Edward and I are leading a paddle on the "Floodwood-Rollins Loop" of ponds, creeks, and carries. Today the annual guideboat races are being held in our village. These are always fun to watch. The Adirondack guideboat is a special rowed craft that was used by the 19th-century guides to take parties of hunters and fishermen to the wilderness (in those days there were few roads: the main roads were the waterways). Guideboats are shaped like canoes, but are wider and are rowed (or, rowed by one person in the bow while the sternsman paddles and steers). The guides put them on their shoulders for the portages. There are many variations in size and depth. A few of the antique boats are on display at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. If you recall the Winslow Homer watercolor "The Blue Boat", that is an Adirondack guideboat. The boats that the Adirondack guides used were painted blue. Today many of them are still made from wood strips--a very time-consuming art--others are fiberglass. All are expensive.
Wishing you all a good day, and a Happy Canada Day! Sending healing vines to Rocket, J.D., and all kitties and beans who need some.
