sunday evening

[egg_shell]

We did take the tent down this afternoon. Gabe helped me. I had a bad coughing spell while we were doing it though. I think the hemlock trees overhead let go of their pollen lately and it was all over the tent - when we were wresting with the tent the dust was stirred up. It took longer to take down than it did to put up - that's for sure. Which is what other reviewers said about the tent too. Afterwards the 3 grandboys and I took a bike ride from Belmar to Fisherman's Cover. The wind was really strong today but I had a feeling that on the west side of the river, at the bottom of the hill it might be more still, and it was. I was glad.



Rossy no hands.

Sebby's turn.



3 canoes going down the Allegheny.



Gabe posing and looking serious. Since Gabe graduated from HS he has become committed to making the change to appearing as he truly feels he is - a female. He wants to be called Hazel now and I am remembering to do that about half the time. I'm so glad he wanted to go with us riding tonight and dressing how he (she) feels best. It's going to take a while to get totally used to using the right pronouns...



Hazel found this written on the bridge. We thought it was so neat - quite a coincidence. We didn't put it there.



Hazel - peace.



Creek patterns.



Giant.
