This is what I am looking at as I write

We left Riviere du Loup and had a leisurely drive down the Sainte Francois River Valley to end up at North Hatley. The Progeny will remember that as the site of our one great ski adventure, Hovey Manor. As beautiful as the lake was in the winter, the summer brings out its best.
We’ve come to visit the Pilgrim’s good friend, Lucinda, and her husband Brian. More lovely people you will never find. Warm and gracious, thoughtful and smart, its been a quick, but rewarding visit.

We arrived and took a much need walk up the hill behind their house, just to stretch the legs and get some air. And the view of the lake was worth the trip.

Back down the hill for a swim.

Then a lovely dinner on the porch, good conversation and to bed sleeping in that velvety air that you only find once a year, if you’re lucky.
