Every year near the end of summer I have a small panic.. as the crickets come and the air cools, i ask myself if I managed to work in all the things I wnated to do in the summer ? . Did i get out on the water (chec).. eat a creamee (not yet), hike (plenty),  take a family vacation (sadly no), barbecue (often), go barefoot (always)..

One of the summer bucket list things  I had not done until today was to tube the winooski.. This afternoon, gabe, Diane and I put in at our bridge and rode the lay river up just about a mile and  ahalf to the canoe access.. It was slow goign. Peaceful and cool. We stopped to explore one of the islands in the river. and then stopped again to check out an old railway bridge.

It was very peaceful..   it left me feelign a little more ready for the change of season…

only a little though.. I want a few more months of summer.. I don’t this i’ve ever felt this way before.

right now I’m trying to drag my feet and slow things down.. for now it seems to be working.

nite all, nite sam
