The Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

Lately the weather's been great. My favorite pastime on weekends is canoeing up Twelve Mile Creek. We take the canoe, pass the rowers on Martindale Pond and then paddle up the creek until we can't go any further. The place is filled with waterlilies, herons, families of turtles, and a couple of swans (who often threaten to attack!)

The rest of the time we're as busy as ever. I haven't been travelling much lately. Most of the energy around here is channelled into the development of two more volumes of Bilingual Songs with accompanying resource books. Take care everybody and enjoy the weather!
