In Defense of Summer
I woke up early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I stopped trying to fight it and came over to Sam's, our little coffee shop on Cross Street, to do a little writing and watch as Chestertown woke up. As I walked over from the barn, the tops of the buildings were bathed in rich amber light. I wish I'd had the camera with me so that I could show you.
Something in the way this morning feels, takes me to Lake George, where Robbi's family has a cottage.
It's up there nestled in those trees, closed down for winter with its water turned off, waiting for the thaw and the new leaves.
We'll head up there at some point for at least a long weekend on the banks of that beautiful lake.
I'm usually a cold weather, dark skies kind of guy, preferring rainstorms and gloom to sunshine. But something in this morning's early light reminded me that there's a place for summer, too.
