Hiding from the sun and heat...at least from from eleven to four.

Pax and I walked the upper bluff trail (from Donna and Al's to Price's, up the bluff from Serendipity), and that was fine because of partial shade, but on the way back, on the road, it was hot; and Pax very much wanted to go down every driveway straight to the lake. I felt the same, but we both made it back to our driveway before heading down hill and jumping into the water.

Meanwhile, it was decided to take the Pinebox guests for a sail about 4:30, just about the time weather forecasters issued a thunderstorm and squall warning. Radar showed some red blobs moving across Manitoulin, but knowing that that was fake news—and promising to eat my hat if it rained at all—we went for a pleasant sail anyway. While we were out, the wind switched from south to northwest. In summary, the day was sunny, hot, and dry. Blowing hard from the NW now.

If I wanted sunny, hot, and dry, I'd live in Arizona.

BTW, the rock stack erected on July 5 is still standing. Curious to see how long the one pictured above holds up. I'm coming to find that stacking rocks is almost as much fun as practising a musical instrument.
