So long and thanks for nothing


Depsite suspicions of being an under-achiever for the past few months, Mother Nature reminded everyone that she calls the shots by delivering a fairly kick-ass Labour Day Weekend. For myself, I didn't mind the cooler temperatures through the killing joke that is 'Canadian Summer', but I have to admit that the warm Sun this past Sunday was enough to send us beach-bound for a few afternoon hours. This was followed up by an uber-enjoyable dinner in Bayfield where we toasted the titular end of Summer. The picture above - a melancholy view of the dying minutes before we shook the sand from our beach blankets and packed up our books. Ah well, back to being Canadian again...

We went with the splash pad/pizza option. Not nearly as fancy, but still fun in the sun.

You made the right choice. Lake Huron is COLD this Summer. And there is no more unpleasant surprise than finding sand in your mouthful of Fritos.

I cut the lawn, and read Stephenson in this amazing lawn chair my father in law gave me. I have never had a chair quite like it. I suspect elves made it.

While you spent time 'being human' in Bayfield, I enjoyed a boulder beach on Georgian Bay.

Ten minutes in the cold water was my limit. Certain body parts receded so quickly I almost screamed.

GAH

Great photo too.
