We took the boys for a walk a while ago - you can tell because these photos are sunny and we haven't had any of that for a bit now!

Sherman doesn't like getting into the water though.  Humphrey on the other hand, was not happy we took off in the canoe without him, so he came with.  Swimming.  I wondered how far he'd actually swim to stay with us?  I couldn't make myself find out, so we only canoed in a small circle.



This is Lake Ray Roberts - our one little finger of it.  It's a man-made lake.  It's just under 30 years old and so the trees that once grew there are still there as ghosts and reminders of the fields and woods the area once was.  I like having it be a lake - even if it wasn't originally "natural" - the life that exists there now is fascinating to watch; touch and smell.  And the dogs like it too.





Humphrey is the one in the water.  Sherman sits there trying to decide how he's gonna play this.



We had a wonderful walk that day.  We don't go down to the lake often enough.  I really enjoy my husband's company, and that day was especially wonderful.
