Perfect Way to End the Week
Today at the lake there were two sail boats, two kayakers, and two other swimmers. One of the swimmers was K, who I have been swimming with before. She was helping a new swimmer get acclimated, so they were just in and out of the lake. I was really happy to run into them. After READ MORE
Flat Water Better
Today I had my friend, M, bring me to the lake because I wanted to see and hear the water, then go for a walk in the paths and count bunnies. On the way to the park I told her that I might have to give up lake swimming until spring, and that I felt READ MORE
Snorting
Today at the lake, the sun was shining, Mt. Rainier was peaking out of the clouds (pun), and the water was mostly flat. I had planned to meet a few of the women in the “plunger” group, which required waking up three hours earlier than normal. It was brutal, and no time for tea, but READ MORE
Fish and the Precious
So much to report. I have solved the fish mystery. I saw two of them together today. So even if one of them is my guy, he has a friend or sibling or whatever. I also saw a HUGE fish that scared the crap out of me. thick, tall, maybe 18″ long. And, I found READ MORE
One Fish, Two Fish?
It’s driving me a little nuts. I can’t tell if the fish I see every day in the lake (about 4″ long) is the same fish and we’re …like…friends. or if there are several of him/her. I see little inch-long fish, too, but I don’t really care so much about them. Is it weird that READ MORE
A New Lake
On vacay at a secret lakeside location. I’ve never seen such clean, pure water. Even when it’s 6′ deep, I can see the sand. The water is often so calm that it looks flat. It is perfect for swimming. Nothing on the lake bottom but sand, rocks, some random green lake plants. Lakeweed? It is READ MORE
Sometimes I Fall on my Butt
Today, I swam in my lake. It’s a huge lake. I look south and see Mt. Rainier. I look north and see other mountains in the Cascade Range, and I see hot air balloons. I am blissfully happy as I breast stroke through the lake (bum shoulder=can’t do crawl), my orange float bag trailing behind READ MORE
I have a huge unicorn floaty!
I haven’t even taken it/her out of the box. Well, I have, and I dragged it to the lake, but I didn’t know that need a pump, like a battery-powered pump, to fill it up. The ten-year-olds said I was still cool for having a unicorn, so I’m good.
