Pond Mellow

Tired from those dips in that beautiful sandy-bottomed kettle pond today. From holding Punchy's boogie board firmly so she could stand on it, balancing on her dainty little feet. From hunting for goggles, precious commodity, so she and Nik each had a pair in their quest to catch guppies in a red plastic beach pail. [No luck.] From pretending to be stranded at sea while Punchy went ashore to cut up seaweed for us to survive on. From walking Sug and seeing apple trees right up the road, heavy with golden and crimson globes. Sleepy from going to the fair Punch set up at home once her friend Nik headed back to NJ--with wrist bracelets at the entrance, pin the cotton ball on the bunny, guess the magic number and bowling. Tired and ready for more vacation slumber. Good night, sweet dreams.
