Cake, Candles, Crying Dog

Just a few days until October, and summer lingers on.  A last warm weekend at the lake.

There's firewood to stack up, 'cause this won't last forever....

Probably the most pleasant dock out session in our long tenure.....water levels had dropped so our crew of capable next generation workers had warm water and not that much of it to contend with.  I always wait until dock out to snap a pic of the fall colors.

And of course other stuff going on.  A birthday party for instance.

It was all a bit over stimulating for my dog Hank.  Hank loves many things.  Kids, grilled meat, the smells of the lake.  He hates other things....lawn mowers for instance, and he decided that the ATV was a great big one.   He tried to be everywhere at once.  Cadging food, getting attention from kids, guarding us from the Lawn Mower.  He can easily be both happy and sad at once.....
