Yesterday, Ron and I borrowed his parents boat and went out on Lake Springfield for a couple of hours. It was the end of a long hot Sunday afternoon and there were still water skiers, but it was less crowded than it had been earlier. We explored some inlets and followed the shoreline around, looking for a club that Emily might get married at next fall, but we couldn't find it. We did find signs for lake clubs that we never knew existed and admired the woods that border Lincoln Memorial Gardens. The private houses on the lake were beautiful with well-manicured yards stretching under large trees down to the water. Almost everyone has a big boat dock and boat house. All I could think of was how expensive it must be to live at the lake.After we returned, Ron's mother was waiting at the dock with the golf cart to take me back up to the house. We ate pizza with his parents then watched Mad Men. A really great evening - slept like a log.
Our backyard is teaming with wildlife! Here are a toad and a tree frog Ron photographed last night.
