Mabel (plus Liz and Liz’s parents) spent her first week at Half Moon Trail. Unfortunately, Ryan was too busy at work to sneak away. I think Mabel was fairly unimpressed with the lake, beach, and flowers. Her main interests were eating and sleeping.
Sunrise Wakeboarding
It looks like a sunset, but it is actually a sunrise. In late July, three of our kids headed out on the water about 5:30. Nate was wakeboarding, Sarah driving the boat, and Michaela taking pictures. This one was amazing. Notice the symmetry of the spray reflected in the water.
Calm Lake
The calm lake plus a telephoto lens condensed a couple gardens, the Adirondack chairs, and the far shoreline into a very appealing situation. This overlook is on a bit of a point and provides commanding view down the lake in both directions. The small light-green evergreens are tamarack which will turn a bright golden-yellow this fall.

Beautiful Morning
Even though it has been a bit cool for early August, we have had some beautiful mornings. This shot was taken a couple days ago.
New Grand Baby
We welcomed our new grand baby, Mabel Grace (Bella), into the world last night about 10:15 (6 lbs 15 oz).
Above: two happy grandmothers.
Congratulations Ryan and Liz!
Clear Water Fish
Yesterday’s post implied that our guests enjoy watching the fish. This photo from George Pfoertner shows a school of sunfish through this incredibly clear water.
Feeding the Fish
Early one morning last week I found this young man feeding his breakfast to the fish. Because the water is so clear, our guests enjoy watching the panfish and minnows around the docks.
Mid-summer Gardens
The gardens have filled out and are full of color. Here is a quick tour of some of the gardens at this stage of summer.
