A little after 5 pm this evening I packed the car with necessities, stopped at the
Wachusett Brewery to fill my growler with fresh Larry IPA, and headed down to the lake. I always bring 'too much' to do with me, and so my sketchpad and my book, "
The Wreck of the Medusa" both sat neglected. I sunscreened up, filled my pint glass with beer, and proceeded to spend the next hour paddling around the lake and floating in the center of it, watching the sun slowly set as various other watercraft sped or meandered by. There is nothing like staring up at the sky on a dry warm
evening, the smells of lake water, early autumn breezes, and hop-laden local beer vying for the attention of one's nose. Midway through the sunset I paddled back to shore for a refill, and then headed right back out. What a picture (as you can see!). Afterward I dried off, and then grilled up a trio of hot dogs, to eat in peaceful twilight, before packing up and heading to my sister's house to watch a movie ("
Killers") with my 3 nieces and brother in law (she went to a friend's birthday party). Great movie, awesome kids, good ice cream (haha).
