Leavin' It All Behind... At the Lake: Stormy weather

Today has been stormy most all day. Thankfully our weather here hasn't been as bad as it has been (and still is) in other parts of the state. It has rained enough, though, that the lake is about two feet over full pool and the run off continues. We have a little branch at the edge of our property. Most of the time, it's dry, but tonight it sounds like a waterfall. I'll be very surprised if the water isn't over the rip rap by in the morning.

Mom and Dad rode up Wednesday and spent the day. It was a wonderful visit. John and Dad went fishing, but they didn't catch much. While they did that, Mom and I just visited. :) I can't wait to be here more this summer so our visits can be more frequent. Three hours isn't all THAT far away, but it's far away enough that going to visit for the day is hard. I mean, a one day visit would include a 6 hour drive (round trip), and that's a lot of road time.

Yesterday I was quite lazy. I sat on the dock most of the day. John was pretty lazy himself, but he sat on the porch at our place or over at Danny and Linda's. About 3, we took the boat out for a short ride. It was a perfect day for a ride, but I lost my new Lake Girl baseball cap. :( It blew off, and before we could get back to it, it sank. I was almost within grabbing distance when I saw it fade away. **sigh**

Just a few more pics to share.

This little guy flew in the door and kept going to the bobber lights. We think he must have thought they were feeders. I pushed the screen out and he finally found his way to freedom.
