Home: New York

Yep, still catching up from our time back East.  Barry and I spent some incredible days with my family at Camp Cherokee hiking Mt. Regis in the rain and canoeing up to Polliwog Pond.

Overlooking Saranac Lake from St. Regis

Now for Polliwog Pond

Swimming and swinging in the rain!

Haven't found a better spot yet!  Rope swing, sandy beach, beautiful views, silent waters - doesn't get better!

Elissa and Joel's version of canoeing!

Glorious Calm

Such is life in the Adirondacks.  But it was bittersweet.  Glorious as it was, it's not the same without the beautiful noise of dozens of children at play, the hug of dear Lizzy, and the buzz, fatigue, and energy of a camp in action.

But life is nothing if not changing.  Bringing twists and turns and new roads to travel.  Maybe the greatest beauty takes time to see, time for our eyes to adjust to new shades and shapes of beauty.  But I thank God for restoring times of stillness and calm that the wilderness can bring.  It was just what I needed.
