We are finally having a week of beautiful sunny days. It's supposed to stay like this through the weekend. What a relief from all that rain and cold! A friend came over to swim this afternoon. She brought her one year old Brittany spanial and five teenagers (two of her own and three friends).
The pup, Cassie, was a little shy of the water at first:
but she decided she really wanted that ball:
and it was worth it. "Look at me!"
The teenagers reminded me of the whales off Cape Breton:
They jumped (not dived, fortunately) off a big boulder in the middle of the lake.
Afterwards I told them the story of The Dive From Claussen's Pier. Not a good idea, to jump from that rock, in unknown waters. But they were okay. The adventurous spirit prevailed.
