Lazy Lake Weekend

Jan. 23, 2009

Today after I got out of class, Mike rode back from the lake on his motorcycle to pick me up and took me back to the lake (it was my first ride with my new helmet!). He went over Thursday night after FCA so he could work on the basement some on Friday morning with his mom and dad. Once we got back it was about 2 PM and lunch was almost ready -- Burritos from a Southern Living magazine, re-fried beans and chips with salsa! Yum Yum! After lunch, everybody resumed working and I decided to go for a walk, down to the non-existent water to take some pictures. It ended up being a good venture--I took a ton of pictures! The water was still so low - out to the end of the cove, but there was a small creek running all the way through the cove. Clancy & I followed it out to the big water (mushing through the mud as we went), stopping along the way for some pictures. I got pictures of the waist-high grass, some humungo muscles that were on the next dock down the cove, some geese, an old bridge that used to run across the cove (I think Mike said it was from the 1800s), and some old cans that were littering the ground. Not only did I get a lot of great pictures, it was a very relaxing walk! Even though there wasn't much water, it was extremely peaceful down by the water & I enjoyed Clancy company while I explored the bare banks of Hartwell.



This is the dock across the cove from the Martins lake house.







Mike like this one ... the grass that's growing & taking over the cove.







A muscle that was bigger than my two hands put together!







An old, old Pepsi can - there were several others -- I wished I had a bag to pick them all up!
