Water, Water Everywhere

On foot and two wheels, Chaumont and Three Mile Bay have been my entire universe, so I've been thoroughly enjoying life surrounded by water. The area is on the eastern end of Lake Ontario and is known as the "Golden Crescent," with one of the largest freshwater bays in the world. 

​The communities combined have less than 700 people, though weekends bring a few more to fish, sail, kayak and imbibe. My lovely apartment on Sawmill Bay is part of a much larger residence on property that is a vineyard, winery, and animal sanctuary owned by a woman who is 5th or 6th generation here.  

My June agenda has included plenty of reading, a bit of writing, a good deal of cooking, and daily exercise. Sleep has certainly not escaped me though it's been a month of ups and downs -- of intense heat and windy, chilly temps; of relaxation mode and stress-filled days; and of doing very little, then a packed to-do-list. 

A day trip to Cape Vincent was so enjoyable that I couldn't get myself on the ferry to cycle Wolfe's Island. In a few days, I'll be pitching my tent at Cedar Point to visit Clayton and Heart Island. On the 4th, it's a trip across the International Bridge for a month in lovely Westport, Ontario, Canada at the west end of upper Rideau Lake. It feels like summer.
