Sun on the water

Kayaking on the lake this morning was divine. Munchkin sat in the bow of our little Perception Prodigy 10 facing me. I had to learn a slightly different paddling technique so I didn't hit the little hands that dipped in the water now and then. (Image at left is sans munchkin on a similar day)

It was an utterly calm day with the sun blazing off the water. We spied our local duck family swimming and then fluttering away. The ducklings are barely discernable from momma duck now. I'm eternally humbled by the beauty of nature. Ducklings, the sound of toads, sun on the water, trout jumping, new wildflowers poking their heads out, it goes on and on...

Clothing optional Chapters

Clothing optional Chapters is not my secret desire, but a dream I had a few nights ago. It was bizarre and I'm sure Freudian analysts could make a whole realm of odd subverted sexual themes out of it. I was browsing in Chapters and noticed that about half the customers were naked. Oddly, with no surprise, I thought that the company must have switched to clothing optional instead of mandatory. I continued my shopping and then the dream switched to a written spelling exam which was taking place inside Chapters. But that's a whole other dream. These dreams were preceded by a long involved espionage and action packed adventure dream.

My husband thinks I'm a bit weird since I had three long and bizarre dreams in one night. My answer is he probably has similar dreams but doesn't remember them. I've always remembered mine and used to be able to control their direction - flying, swimming underwater and the like. I lost this ability with adulthood but my dreams are still vivid - the nice ones and the nightmares.
