Creech Week

We're winding down from

Creech Week

here at the lake

an annual 'normal chaos' gathering

of family

smaller in number of people this year

but 

more dog guests.

We laughed a very lot.

Young Creechers

Above are some of the young, fun, buoyant Creechers:  one boy holding his own in this group among five especially cool girls. 

Yesterday, the children selected rocks from the lake, decorated them, added messages, and placed them at the base of a maple tree which we've planted in memory of my brother Dennis who died in January.  The kids made this a sweet, joyous occasion. We sprinkled a little tobacco over the earth because my brother was a smoker and would have appreciated the gesture.
