A trip to the islands

It is always lovely to go out to the island. The ferry is now only selling tickets online, and one has to wear a mask while waiting and on board, but that's not hard.

We went early yesterday morning to "avoid the rush," but there was not really a rush. It was really nice to walk around, with the trees and the beach and the wee breeze, but it was still really hot! This summer has been, as the kids say, brutal.

The Centreville amusement park is closed, as is the little farm. I don't have much interest in kids' rides these days, but I do always enjoy talking to the big pig and the chickens at the farm. Next year....

If you click to embiggen, you can see the lifeguard's chair is in the water


On the way home, I stopped at my favourite echinacea flower patch and found this bee. The picture is actually upside-down, so that the bee is right-side-up.

    Looks like a lovely day for your trip. Did you see our relative on your journey? I saw the lifeguard's chair without embiggering, after you said it was there.
    We are having hot weather these days. It's 30 C at 10:15 outside my office window.
    THE date will be Sept. 22. It's nice to have a concrete timeline, even if I have to wait 2 months.
