• I built up a wee bit of energy and planted morning glory's this morning.  It took me five minutes and I'm exhausted.     I am getting better I can feel subtle differences, but its slow going.

  The kids and I have been spending each afternoon at the river.  I've gotten wet twice, but haven't actually swam.  I might get that brave today.  Rob built a better trail to our favorite hole, and we went out there twice.  Its a good 3/4's of a mile from our house one way.  So we've been driving the red van and then walking the last bit.  Its a pain in the butt carrying Jeremiah that far, and his little legs just don't move that fast especially over rough ground.

  The hole we swam in last summer is currently a HUMONGOUS log jam.  So that's why the walk.  The only other hole deep enough for truely swimming is in the shade most of the day--and that's just BRR.  Besides this hole is FAR superior.  I can swim Olympic pool size laps with a bit of caution in a couple places--as there's low lying logs. 

  There's even a lovely sized log for jumping off.  The waters is about five feet under it.  NOt deep enough for diving, but deep enough to get a nice size splash for the bigger kids. 

  

  

  I will have to make more pictures that actually show the hole.  I'll do that this afternoon if I think about it.   So you can know where I'll be every sunny day between now and half way through September.
