Memorial Day Weekend

Wow.

It’s been a while. Since about Memorial Day. A lot has happened. I’ve been up and down and over and under the East Coast and now here I sit in the middle of New Hampshire, about to embark on six or seven new journeys and I’m having a blast, though I can honestly say I am so bloody excited that I have some time to go play in July. I should be working about 6 days in July. That will be the first true quiet time I’ve had in a long time.

On Memorial Day Weekend, Hannah and I went out to Borne and Stratton ponds. Aside from an abundance of black flies on Sunday evening, it was one of the most enjoyable, magnificent adventures I’ve had in years. And coming from someone who goes on adventures all the time, and someone who doesn’t particularly care for Memorial day crowds, that’s saying something.

Anyway, that Sunday, before the swarm, we wandered around Stratton Pond, stopping frequently to take photos and once for a long pause by the shore to enjoy the beauty. We ate well, slept in, and generally had a great time.
