A magnificent summer weekend.

Well, it seems that summer has finally arrived to stay.

There was lots of great weather this past weekend and lots of activity all around the lake.

There is nothing quite like the sound of kids having fun in the water. And there was lots of that this weekend too. Both near and far, in our bay and beyond, the squeals of delight were abundant.  And it was a joy to hear.

Except at  4:30 in the morning!!!!

Twice in the last two weeks, we have been wakened by people swimming - both times around 4:30 a.m. I have no idea if this is the end of the swimmers' night, or the beginning of their morning. But it isn't the kind of water play that anyone likes to hear.

I can only believe that they have no idea how sound carries in the dead of night. Well, let me just say that we can can hear every word, every giggle, every swimming stroke. And, as much as I would love to believe that we are the only people subjected to it, I'm sure it carries right across the lake.

Please be kind to your fellow cottagers and swim earlier, later or much more quietly.
