It's been a long time.
A loooooooooonnnnngggg time.
So long.
I can't think of anything more soothing to my soul than being out on a calm lake in the early morning listening to the quiet sounds of water lapping against the canoe and dribbling from the end of a paddle, and not-so quiet loons calling to one another. And all the while, watching the sky and clouds shifting and the mist slowly swirl and disappear as the sun begins to warm the air.
I have missed this so much.
