As I paddle my canoe near the shore, I spot a small school of fish. I slow the canoe to a crawl and
watch the fish just a few feet from me. As the canoe floats slowly forward, I notice the fish staying beside me, following
me as I coast along. Eventually, as I get in deeper water, the fish head back to the warm temperatures of the shallow
cove.
Summer is a wonderful time to be at the lake. We have a few new lot owners and they are busy clearing and building.
The lake itself is bustling with activity. Bugs and flies skim over the surface, fish jump out of the water, and Loons
and other waterfowl frequent the lake looking for a meal or just frolicking about. A couple of otters were spoted last
year. Snapping turtles are rarely seen, but there are a few large ones in the lake.
As the day wears on, activity picks up on the lake. Some people are out swimming, some in their paddle boats or
canoes. There's even a party or two as the day turns into the evening.
Tomorrw, there will be less activity on the lake, as the people return to their homes and jobs. Never fear, they
will return again, next weekend perhaps.
