Day 10 in Vermont - rainy do-nothing day

Here's a front view of our lodge here at Lake Elmore.  We spend much time on the front deck but inside is equally pleasant - especially on these rainy mornings. Even so, we dry off the chairs and enjoy the wonderful cool air here.  We don't even need or have A/C!  Just open windows and doors (only one fly to date) and inhale the clean, clear air.
Another real joy is hearing the loons early morning and in the evenings.  We have a beautiful picture of one in our home but this hearing their delightful cries is a new experience for me.  Of course, Frank has heard them many times, especially at their camp in Maine as a child.  Much more pleasant at 5 o'clock in the mornings rather than a rooster!
Last evening we talked with Frank's daughter, Donna, in Burlington and will go visit her tomorrow.  There are still a couple more friends we haven't yet made contact with but we do have  more time!  What fun it is to be in a totally different environment!
