Right Now...

Right now, I am really missing this guy. The man is tying grass around a bouquet of flowers (bogbeans and alaskan cotton to be exact) we picked on our last "lake date". Whenever I visit him in Alaska, there are several "dates" I insist upon, and although they all have different charms (who can say no to a bear date, after all?) lake date is probably my most cherished.

It is a moment for just the two of us to sneak away, paddle the canoe, take some pictures, and relax outside.  Invariably, Oli finds a moment to kick back for a little power nap!

I am going back to visit again in just a few short weeks, and I will be anxiously awaiting the moment when we can slip away to the lake together.

Here's to wildflowers, newly hatched dragonflies, power naps, and Alaskan lakes. Here's to summer, in all its lovely forms.
