Wednesday, July 20, 2022 Rain did not let up until 530 this morning, and the sky is still very grey. We stayed warm but at some point the rainfly dripped. Uh oh! Could it have been condensation? Glad I didn't bring my down bag. Finally got coffee and oatmeal made, and we're sitting under the tarp watching rain and wind do it's work on the lake. Wind is dying down at least...it's good birding weather. And I'm glad that I'm not close enough to my entry point to pack up and paddle out, or I might. Not fond of multiple days of rain/wind. By early afternoon I was feeling chilled and got out the HeyPork stove to make tea, and voila, the sun came out to play. Had Many Beans Salad from Packit Gourmet for lunch- making up for yesterday and no dinner. Checked out the tent and fly is drying fast, sleeping bags don't feel damp at all somehow. Life is good!

Now it's warm and really glorious. Did a little more exploring of all the trails, picked blueberries and made dessert- lemon cheesecake with blueberries. I may never need to eat again! Drinking an "iced" coffee in the shade. Today is Amelia's birthday- I gave her a couple spoonfuls of cheesecake and sang her a silly song and we danced around. She let me take a gorgeous picture of her lying in the grass, and she even looked at the camera. Then had an evening fire...a nice end to the day.
