Lazy Summer

My glaring absence from blogging can be explained by this picture.  I spent a week and a half at our camp on Lake Ontario and have actually been back for this week -- but have been so busy catching up with life at home.  There's been no time to blog!  Very poor wireless reception this close to the lake and the Canadian border meant I could probably not stay connected long enough to post anyway.  The weather was great -- going from sweltering hot to fairly chilly, then kind of back to moderate again. Only one day of rain/clouds!

Teddy loved camp life except for the clipping she got last weekend. I also lugged out the puppy blow drier to blast out the dampness from her swims.  Next time, I'm going to actually try using the leaf blower so I can leave the dryer at home.  A local garage sale today turned up a pair of Andis clippers, which I think I will bring to camp and use for touching up.  That way, I can leave her full set at home.  We had nice neighbors whom I kept an appropriate social distance from -- a nice family of four, which Teddy adopted.  I couldn't sit with them but she made herself right at home!

Wayne County, NY entered phase three of the pause and that allowed for garage sales, so of course I hit one.  Here's a quick shot of my first loot.  A percolator and three necklaces for six bucks.  A vintage store in Wolcott was also open and I scored a haul of sample paints and a bathroom ensemble for the Troll House.

This will be another camp weekend but Teddy must return for an oncologist appointment on Tuesday.  She hasn't seen a vet in a while since we are managing her skin well, however, it does seem there may be some increased lymphatic activity, so it is time for blood work.  I do not want to think this is her last summer, but am sort of treating it as it is.  That means we'll be away from home and enjoying camp and the lake quite a bit.  I feel as if that is depriving The Big Guy, but he also wants her to have fun while she can.

My blogging activity may be sparse this summer but that is because life is full of activity and travel, which really isn't a bad thing!
