osprey_archerOh LJ, I have so much to tell you!! For I have returned from my Canadian sojourn! In which sojourn I ate walleye and bass and a lake trout, the second lake trout that my dad caught in his life, for normally they hide in the watery depths. It was delicious.
Speaking of fish stories! The night before last I caught a bass, and while I was reeling it in, a gigantic northern pike latched onto the bass and attempted to yank it from my hook to devour it. I pulled left, I pulled right, I reeled, I yanked my pole toward the boat - and at last the northern pike let go! We took the bass off the hook - still surprisingly intact after the onslaught - and tossed it as far away as we could, so it would have a fighting chance. Yes! I am the Bass Rescuer! How many fishermen do you know you can say that?
Other things that occurred: raspberry picking, blueberry picking, blueberry pancakes, PICTOGRAPHS, and many many photos. There may be an entire photo post of Interesting Mushrooms of the North. You have been warned!

I also read the entirety of Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I am pretty sure that it is a book that Edward Cullen spent far too much of his unlife pondering.
