What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Picked berries.

Went to a birthday party on a boat.

Attended a nature conservation dedication.

Tried to identify the birds of prey seen from the top of Mt. Lookout. (We think they were red-tailed hawks. Their scream was marvelous. I can still hear it.)

Played clarinet duets!

Picked berries.

Snuck into Canada a couple of times.
(This is a fairly verbatim transcript:
Border official/guard/booth person: Where are you from?
Us: Massachusetts, Virginia
Border official/guard/booth person: Do you have anything like guns?
Us: No.
Border official/guard/booth person: Have a nice visit!)

Ate. A. Ton.

Waded to a little higher than my knees in that icy lake. Next visit I’ll go deeper.

Came in second in the official sunset rock skipping competition.

Took goofy pictures from the moving car.

Picked berries.

I had a wonderful time.

I heard it was raphsodic, a veritable transcendance of the merely human efforts at music, a blissful union of harmonies, with nary a squeak. Well, hardly.
