And the summer begins...

The school year has ended. No more classes - both the college and the public schools. Nicki is almost done with her year. And this weekend has had beautiful weather - perfect for kayaking. So back to Findley Lake and chasing the birds. We even left the kayaks up on the Honda in case we want to go back out tomorrow. I think having the Honda parked around Oberlin with the boats on top is a sign for the town that summer has truly begun. By the way, I'm beginning to think we should start naming the birds. We're pretty sure they are starting to pose. Very often the herons take off acting annoyed and then circle back for another shooting session. But more often than not they tolerate us and rarely do their dinosaur sqawk anymore. And the geese could care less if we join the family.
