Sunny and 61 degrees (heading toward 80 degrees by noon) in Lakewood, Ohio. The lake is calm but moving. There is an explosion of chipmunks in the area and they dart out from under a bush, sometimes chasing another across the back patio. The air is thick and the midges are caked to every window screen in the house. The depth of the backyard has shortened significantly from when I was a child and when you look over the fence you can see tree roots that hung on despite the erosion. There’s a dog barking down the street and birds chirping in the tress, and my fingers typing on these keys. And other than that, it is quiet and beautiful.
We hope everyone enjoyed their summer weekend! Here are this week’s pics:

And right on time, the midge bugs have arrived
When I was in New Orleans the weekend before last we got out of the city one day and headed down to the Bayou for a swamp tour. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Our guide began spending time in the swamp when he was eight years old and was a true alligator hunter/preservationist. He played with the alligators like they were dogs, luring them over with food (marshmallows!) and kissing them on the head. He even surprised us toward the end of the tour by pulling a baby alligator out of a cooler that was on the boat and letting everyone have a chance at holding it. If you’re ever in the area, I’d highly recommend seeing it for yourself!
