In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
On A Hot Day, There's Nothing Like Cooling Off In The Water...

I prefer swimming holes, brooks and creeks.....
When I was a kid...we lived near "Branch Brook" in Watertown, Connecticut. We would take the long walk down the skinny, winding road, under the cool trees in our bare feet and then lounge in the bubbling brook.
The brook had huge slate edges in some places that made it look like a giant bath tub. There was a cliff area where my brothers would swing off a rope. And there were little water snakes too. I can still smell it...the combination of fresh, cool water, green foliage, and warm wild berries in the woods.
The brook led to a reservoir in Thomaston, CT that I blogged about back in December. Another place my family spent time. There are some beautiful places in Northwestern Connecticut. I miss those times very much.
Here is another way to cool off....to each his own I guess.
Sometimes you do what you have to do to keep cool...
A very crowded swimming pool
